A day-long meeting of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao with visiting leaders of farmers organisations from 26 States was unanimous that a joint forum of farmers at the national-level was needed to be set up to replicate the success story of Telangana in agriculture and pro-farmer policies.
Speakers at the meeting voiced the demand that the Telangana model in the sector was immediately required for the country, a release later said.
The meeting discussed in detail developments in agriculture at the national-level and condemned the anti-farmer policies of the Centre in crop cultivation and ensuring remunerative prices for farmers. Some senior leaders of farmers organisations who participated in the prolonged agitation against farm laws in the capital shared their views.
