Telangana Congress sees collusion between the rice millers and the state government to make money with the former procuring paddy from the farmers at a reduced price below the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the latter purchasing the same from the millers at MSP.
“There is a clear ploy to cheat the paddy farmers and the whole drama of fight against the Central government is created to push the farmers into some confusion to force them to sell their produce cheaply,” Congress leader Madhu Yaskhi Goud alleged at a press conference.
