The people will teach the K.Chandrashekar Rao government.Farmers, unemployed youth, students, BC, SC, ST and minorities will together teach BRS a befitting lesson, he warned.
He was accompanied by Nalgonda DCC president Shankar Nayak, senior leaders Ramalingam Yadav, Shambula Srikanth Goud and other local leaders.
