Revanth questions KCR’s ‘sincerity’ over paddy issue
The Hindu
Asks him to sit on a dharna at Jantar Mantar as promised
Telangana Congress chief Revanth Reddy has questioned the ‘sincerity’ of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on his ‘fight’ with the BJP government over procurement of paddy and asked him when would he stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar on the issue as promised.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Mr. Reddy said that KCR’s ‘insincerity’ was evident when he stayed away from the TRS-sponsored dharna against the Centre. “The Chief Minister is just fooling people with a ‘fake fight’ call while continuing his close association with the BJP at the Centre. Both BJP and TRS are hand in glove in confusing farmers and ultimately not procuring the paddy,” he alleged.
Stating that the Centre and State governments were behaving irresponsibly, he asked the Chief Minister if he was unable to allocate ₹10,000 crore from his ‘rich budget’ to buy paddy as promised. “Isn’t it possible in a rich State that CM always boasts of,” he asked.
