Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region, G. Kishan Reddy, also the Telangana BJP president, questioned the BRS leadership for not allocating 33% reservation for women in the distribution of tickets and said the latter had no right to talk about the quota, on Tuesday.
Talking to media during the farmers’ convention organised by the party, the Minister pointed out that not even 10% of the tickets were allotted to women by the ruling party as just seven were given and wondered how the “Kalvakuntla family” can demand the Centre to pass the law and accused MLC K. Kavita of taking up a “phony protest in Delhi”.
Mr. Reddy accused the KCR regime of snatching farmers’ lands under the guise of ‘Dharani portal’ and charged that farmers were being “backstabbed” in the last nine years with empty promises about loan waiver, free fertilizer supply, not implementing PM farm insurance scheme and so on despite obvious climate change effect. In contrast, the Modi government at the Centre had ensured there was no shortage of fertilizer anywhere in the country, and had revived the Ramagundam urea factory.
