BJP national general secretary Bandi Sanjay has demanded that the State government immediately purchase the rain-soaked paddy from farmers who have been hit hard by the unseasonal rain that lashed parts of undivided Karimnagar district and elsewhere in the State over the past two days.
Mr. Sanjay, the sitting Karimnagar MP, visited the agricultural fields of several farmers whose harvested paddy got soaked in the untimely rains at Veernapalli in Rajanna Sircilla district on Sunday afternoon.
Speaking after interacting with aggrieved farmers, Mr. Sanjay alleged that lack of proper arrangements at the paddy procurement centres and laxity of the government resulted in damage to the harvested paddy of the farmers due to unseasonal rains.
