Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Andhra Pradesh unit president Somu Veerraju on Thursday wrote an open letter to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, requesting him to ensure that paddy farmers get the Minimum Support Price (MSP) announced by the Central government.
“The procurement of paddy is marred in irregularities as pointed out by YSR Congress Party MP Pilli Subhash Chandra Bose. The Chief Minister must break his silence, else the middlemen, who are in cahoots with the millers, will continue to cheat farmers,” said Mr. Veerraju.
The BJP leader alleged that the ‘re-milling mafia’ was ruling the roost, with the ‘blessings of some ruling party leaders who were calling the shots in the government’.
