TS to intensify struggle on paddy procurement for Rabi after Ugadi

The Telangana Government would wait for change of mind by the Centre for about a week and then intensify its struggle on the Rabi paddy procurement issue after Ugadi, Ministers S. Niranjan Reddy, G. Kamalakar, P. Ajay Kumar and V. Prashanth Reddy stated on Saturday.

“We are optimists and that’s why hoping for a change of mind by the Centre. We have an action plan already prepared in the event the Centre remains adamant and will unveil the strategy after Ugadi,” the Ministers said here, asking farmers to have faith in the TRS government as it hopes to find one way or the other to resolve the issue being a protection shield for them.

Stating that history stands proof as to what had happened to those who spoke against Telangana people or insulted them, the Ministers cited the example of former Chief Minister of combined Andhra Pradesh N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who they said had gone on record that he would not give a penny to Telangana during a debate in the Assembly.
