Adilabad: MLAs belonging to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party staged a protest against the Union government’s decision to not to procure paddy produced in Yasangi season, across the erstwhile Adilabad district on Monday.

He rebuked it for deciding to not buy the produce for the first time in the history of the country. He stated that farmers would teach a lesson in the forthcoming elections.
MLA Jogu Ramanna along with cadres of the party staged a dharna in Adilabad district centre. He flayed the Centre over its disinterest to buy the paddy produce from the farmers.

He demanded it to procure the grains produced in the Yasangi season.
In the meantime, Mancherial MLA Nadipelli Diwakar Rao criticized the Centre for not procuring the paddy. He said that the Union was irresponsible and was least concerned for farmers.
