KCR asserts BJP’s philosophy to have “Strong Centers and Weak States”.
Hyderabad:
After giving the Center a 24-hour deadline to procure food from Telangana farmers, Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today insulted the Central government and accused the BJP of undermining the agricultural sector. According to him, this is a conspiracy to transfer the agricultural industry to businesses and reduce farmers to workers. Mr. Rao has set up a new confrontation with the Center and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a dispute regarding rice purchases by farmers in his state.
During yesterday’s protest in Delhi, “I asked them if they don’t have money or the Prime Minister doesn’t have the heart to buy food,” he said.
“Myself and my ministers went to Delhi to ask them to buy food. BJP’s philosophy is to have Strong Centers and Weak States, “They want to weaken countries financially, so so We are restless,” he added.
Mr. Rao said: “The Adani group was saved by spending Rs 12,000 crore but they are not ready to spend Rs 3000 to buy food from farmers… We want to expose their anti-farmer policies.
“The government protects those who make banks go bankrupt. Rs 10,000 has been spent saving corporate crooks in London … we have the documents, we will expose them,” he added.
Telangana is asking for a “One Country-One Procurement Policy”. The Center has disputed Telangana’s stance, with Union Food Minister Piyush Goyal recently saying the Telangana government has made it known in writing that it will not provide parboiled rice but raw rice to the Food Corporation. real Indian.
Earlier today, the Minister held a cabinet meeting to discuss the strategy moving forward. Sources say the cabinet has made a number of important decisions.
Telangana, he added, will not let farmers “wobble”. The cabinet has decided to purchase individual seeds planted by farmers. An expert committee has been formed and ministers will travel to the districts. He added: “In each village, purchasing centers will be established.
Telangana’s confrontation with the Center comes nearly five months after three controversial farm laws were repealed.
Claiming that the farmers – who have organized a year-long protest in Delhi against the agricultural law – are now planning a “nationwide mahasangram”, he said the Center should acknowledge “we can only collaborate, we are incompetent.
