telangana: Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao gives 24-hour warning to Centre on paddy procurement | Hyderabad News
HYDERABAD: Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao termed the Modi government at the Centre as a `Conspiracy government, not a democratic government’ (Shadyantra Sarkar not Jantrant Sarkar) and demanded the Centre come up with an integrated agriculture policy for farmers.
The CM gave 24 hours ultimatum to the Centre to spell out their stand whether they are going to procure Paddy from Telangana farmers or not and later the government would decide future course of action. He warned that the TRS won’t leave the BJP and continue the fight.
The CM addressed a well attended dharna programme ‘Telangana Demands Uniform Paddy Procurement’ in Delhi on Monday. The dharna was organized to press the demand of Telangana to procure entire Paddy from the state on the lines of Punjab state. Ministers, TRS MLAs, MLCs and MPs along with farmers organizations representatives like Rythu Bandhu Samithi from the state participated.
“Farmers are not seeking alms from the government, it is their right to get minimum support price and benefits. If the Centre comes up with a new integrated agriculture policy, the TRS will support the government or else they (people) will be replaced with the new government which will implement the new agriculture policy,” KCR said.
The TRS supremo said the Centre talks big and for procuring Paddy from a small state like Telangana, Modi does not have ‘dhan nahi or mann nahi’ to come to the rescue of the farming community. “You (Modi) want votes and seats from Telangana, but not resolve the woes of farmers,” the CM said.
The CM alleged union minister Piyush Goyal had insulted the ministerial delegation from the state and also humiliated the farming community by asking the farmers to get them habituated to eating broken rice in Telangana.
“How arrogant is Piyush Goyal and gave evaded answers in Rajya Sabha. He is not Piyush Goyal, he is Piyush Golmal” the CM said.
He attacked union minister from Telangana G Kishan Reddy and BJP president Bandi Sanjay for instigating the farmers to go for Paddy in the Rabi season and now going back on their promises. “The BJP staged a dharna on the same issue in Hyderabad. They should be ashamed of themselves. It is ‘Besharam BJP’,” he said.
He said if any party leader or CM opposes them, they put CBI, IT and ED behind them. Some leaders said they will put me (KCR) behind bars, if they have guts, let them come, KCR said.
“Whether the Centre wants to procure or not, let them clear their stand. We are not weak, we will not leave our farmers in lurch. The TRS government will take a decision in a day or two at the same time, we will expose them (BJP),” he said.
He said the TRS would mobilize the support of chief ministers and leaders on the issue and support the leaders like Rakesh Tikait till the farmers get constitutional rights like MSP.
