**Vijayawada, February 23, 2025** – The Andhra Pradesh Farmers Association issued a strong endorsement of the Progressive Democratic Front (PDF) candidates in the upcoming MLC elections scheduled for February 27th. In a press release, association president V. Krishnaiah and secretary K. Prabhakar Reddy urged voters in three constituencies to support the PDF’s nominees: K.S. Lakshman Rao (Krishna-Guntur Graduates Constituency), D. Veera Raghavulu (Godavari Districts Graduates Constituency), and K. Vijayagowri (North Andhra Teachers Constituency).
The association highlighted the PDF’s advocacy for farmers’ rights within the Legislative Council, citing their work on issues such as irrigation projects, minimum support prices, and the challenges faced by various farming communities (dairy, turmeric, and cashew farmers). The group believes a PDF victory is vital for the broader interests of farmers, teachers, unemployed graduates, and other working groups. They called on farmers, teachers from farming backgrounds, and unemployed graduates to cast their first-preference votes for the PDF candidates.
