Launching a fresh tirade against the BJP government at the Centre, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) working president and Minister for Municipal Administration and Information Technology K T Rama Rao alleged that the BJP leaders were resorting to “blatant lies” over paddy procurement issue unable to digest the farmer-friendly TRS government in Telangana.
Addressing the Rythu Nirasana Deeksha in Sircilla town on Thursday, Mr Rao said the BJP State president Bandi Sanjay and Union Minister for Culture and Tourism G Kishan Reddy asked the farmers to cultivate paddy in the yasangi (rabi) season even as the State government tried to dissuade the farmers from growing paddy in yasangi and encouraged them to go in for alternative crops to safeguard their interests.
The BJP leaders assured to ensure purchase of every grain of paddy by the Centre and instead of fulfilling their promises they have now launched a misinformation campaign against the State government with narrow political machinations, he charged.
