Hyderabad. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday targeted the BJP government at the Center and the TRS government in Telangana on the issue of paddy procurement. He demanded that both the governments take all necessary steps to procure every single grain of paddy grown by the farmers.
He said it was shameful that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Center and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in the state was playing politics on the hard work of farmers, ignoring their moral duty to procure paddy.
Congress MP tweeted in Telugu on paddy procurement issue.
Rahul Gandhi said that both the governments should stop creating problems for the farmers through their anti-farmer policies and should buy every grain grown by the farmers.
He said that the Congress party will continue its fight till the government buys the last grain of paddy in Telangana.
The central and state governments are currently in dispute regarding the purchase of paddy.
The TRS government has threatened to intensify its agitation demanding the Narendra Modi government to buy the entire stock of paddy during the current Yasangi season.
However, the Center maintains that it is committed to procuring raw rice from the state as per the agreement between the state and the Food Corporation of India (FCI).
