Telangana Agriculture Minister, S Niranjan Reddy today criticised that the Centre is failing to procure paddy and other farms produce from the estate.
Addressing a press conference at Telangana Bhavan here, the Minister accused the Centre of creating panic among the farmers in the state. The Centre is supposed to procure the crops from the farmers as per constitution he said.
The Minister denied comments that the state government and officials were dictating terms to the farmers on sowing crops. There is no truth that the government colluded with the millers to procure the crops.
Though the centre is not able to do it only to add to the farmers’ issues, he charged. He took exception to Prime Minister Narendra Modi failing to get the produce from the farmers.
The Minister expressed displeasure at the BJP leaders for protests at Agriculture Commissioner Office. The BJP MPs should press the Centre to procure the crops for MSP, he demanded.
