The Hindu
‘Both parties spreading lies on the issue, doing great injustice to farmers’
Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has criticised Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress on the issue of paddy procurement stating that the two parties were ‘spreading lies’ on the issue and doing ‘great injustice’ to farmers.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, TRS MLA and chairman of the Public Undertaking Committee (PUC) A. Jeevan Reddy said that Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy does not know about agriculture and paddy and was only ‘spreading lies’ on the issue of procurement.
He suggested Mr. Kishan Reddy to find out whether the Telangana government had given the undertaking on not supplying parboiled rice from this year on its own or under pressure from the Department of Food and Public Distribution as a pre-condition to lift 20 lakh tonnes of parboiled rice produced during the rabi season of 2020-21. Mr. Jeevan Reddy also sought to know that the undertaking was not changeable as the Constitution of the country had already been amended about 100 times so far.
