BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar said that the Telangana Government has failed to submit indent on how much raw rice it would supply and instead, blaming the Centre.
“The Centre is ready to procure raw rice as promised, and it is Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao who stated that paddy will not be procured during summer and no procurement centres will be opened,” he said at a press conference on Saturday. He also alleged that KCR was playing a political game.
He added that the Centre had held a meeting on February 25 with all the States in regard to procurement of paddy. “While every State has reacted, Telangana has failed to respond. The CM himself announced, in the past, that there will be no procurement in summer. Now, he is blaming that the Centre is not procuring. I appeal to farmers to understand who is telling lies,” he said.
