TRS forcing distress sale to benefit brokers, says BJP leader

Senior BJP leader and in-charge for Madhya Pradesh P. Muralidhar Rao on Tuesday blasted the TRS Government for “forcing the farmers to go for distress sale of paddy and benefit the brokers even while spreading disinformation about the Centre’s role in procurement”.

“This is being done with a pre-planned strategy to rake up the Telangana sentiment to cover up its own failures. The Modi Government at the Centre has never discriminated against TS and will not do so, therefore people of Telangana are not going to buy this current campaign of the TRS,” he said, at a press conference at the party office.

Mr. Rao said the agenda behind the TRS game plan is to “cosy up to the Opposition by deriding the Central Government and also shift S people’s attention from the government’s follies”. “We will go to people and farmers to expose the TRS Government’s duplicity. If Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao goes to Delhi, we will go to the villages,” he said.
