Calling out the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s hypocrisy and double standards, IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao made light of Modi’s statement during his Karnataka campaign that the Congress mocked him when he said turmeric was an immunity booster during the Covid pandemic.
Modi claimed that the Congress insulted turmeric farmers rather than him. Rama Rao was quick to point out the irony and hypocrisy in Modi’s remark, noting that the same Modi and BJP had repeatedly rejected the pleas of Telangana turmeric farmers to establish a turmeric board in Nizamabad.
Turmeric farmers in the state, he said, would teach the saffron party a lesson for the ‘shameful betrayal.’ He added the real insult to turmeric farmers was promising them a Turmeric Board on a bond paper during the Parliament elections and then hoodwinking them by refusing to deliver despite numerous protests.
Sharing the image of the bond paper signed by Nizamabad MP Arvind Dharmapuri promising a Turmeric Board in Nizamabad before he got elected as MP, Rama Rao inquired whether Modi he recognised the bond paper promise of the BJP MP.

During the 2019 election campaign, not only Arvind but also Union Minister Rajnath Singh and senior BJP leader Ram Madhav promised turmeric farmers a Turmeric Board.
Arvind had promised on a bond paper that he would prevail upon the union government to approve the turmeric board within five days of winning the elections, and that if he failed to do so, he would resign.
