With passing days, the farmers have been fathoming the support of oppositions, welfare associations and student organisations.

In their letter to the President, Amaravati farmers stated that they were betrayed by the government over the state capital and have urged the former to allow to kill themselves. They even stated that the police department who ought to protect the law are booking murder cases against them who have been fighting for their lands. “We are protesting from 14 days and not even one ruling minister bothered to visit us. We opine that death is an ultimate form of protest against the governments as all door or the solution have been closed and the government is pursuing revenge,” read their letter to President which sought his intervention to stall the process of shifting the capital. Will this letter move the Constitutional head and thereby the central government?
