Congress accuses BRS leaders of misleading farmers over paddy procurement

TPCC working president and Congress MLC Mahesh Kumar Goud lambasted the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders for staging dharnas over paddy procurement, accusing the previous regime led by K. Chandrasekhar Rao of neglecting farmers’ issues over the past decade.

Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan on Thursday, he questioned their integrity and suggested they should feel ashamed for their wrongdoings against the farmers. 

“We witnessed the treatment of farmers under the KCR government where farmers were handcuffed and thrashed over the chili prices and purchase in Khammam under the BRS rule,” Mr. Goud said.
