The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Monday, has demanded Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, to either “start procuring paddy or resign from his post”. The party, which held a counter protest meeting here at the Indira Park ridiculed the “one hour fake dharna” by KCR in New Delhi earlier and charged the latter with trying to pin the blame of non-procurement of paddy this season on the Centre without any basis.
“Does he have the guts to dethrone Prime Minister Modi when every crop from cotton to chilli is getting high minimum support price during his rule with ₹65,000 being spend on each acre across the country. It is the Telangana people who are actually ready to vote KCR out,” said party president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar, addressing the gathering.
Top party leaders, led by Union Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muralidharan, vice president D. K. Aruna, national OBC morcha president K. Laxman, MLAs T. Raja Singh, Eatala Rajender, Vijayashanti and several others participated in the “Buy Paddy or Resign” programme.
