Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi led the way for a war of words between the Congress and TRS leaders on the ongoing paddy procurement issue after posting a tweet in Telugu slamming both the TRS and BJP governments for politicising the issue.
KCR surrendered: Revanth
The tweet prompted TRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha to join asking him to support the TRS demand for a ‘one nation one procurement’ policy and this was countered by Telangana Congress chief and MP Revanth Reddy, who accused Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of surrendering to the BJP government by signing on a letter that Telangana will not supply parboiled rice to the Food Corporation of India (FCI).
