BJP TS president Bandi Sanjay Kumar has reiterated that his party is committed to making sure the Centre purchases every grain of paddy (raw rice) and urged farmers across the State not to be ‘deceived’ by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s ‘disinformation’ campaign.
“When did the Centre say it will not procure paddy? It is the Chief Minister who has been resorting to flip-flops about the paddy procurement by stating that Centre had no role, warning farmers against growing paddy, threatening to shut down procurement centres and delaying the procurement process,” he charged.
Addressing a media conference at the party office on Sunday, he demanded KCR to ‘apologise’ to the farmers for spreading ‘canards’ against the BJP Government. “Earlier, he tried to suppress his assurance to the Centre not to give parboiled rice and later claimed he signed under duress. Who will believe him? Did he not say he is not scared of anyone,” he questioned.
