Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is bound to face the ‘wrath’ of Telangana farmers for resorting to a fresh eyewash on paddy procurement by lying to them about the Centre refusing to purchase this season when it is his own government which has threatened to shut down procurement centres and did not supply the requisite raw rice to FCI in the last season,” observed TS BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday.
“KCR owes an explanation to people about why he had threatened to shut down procurement centres and why he keeps insisting that the Centre will not purchase paddy when Union Minister Piyush Goel has clarified it is not true. What is his problem in acting like a middleman and take the commission, when the Centre is going to fund everything in the procurement process? Farmers will revolt against his government with these kind of theatrics,” he said.
Addressing a press conference at the Telangana Bhavan in New Delhi on Tuesday, Mr. Sanjay Kumar said that KCR’s elaborate criticism against the Centre and BJP was only meant to create fresh controversies and shift the focus of people from his government’s ‘maladministration’.
