Speaking on the occasion, the Minister reminded that TRS MPs had opposed the ‘black laws’ introduced by the Centre in Parliament following the directions of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. He suggested BJP and Congress leaders to mount pressure on the Centre to purchase paddy from Telangana.

Meanwhile, MLC Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, in a statement, termed the Centre’s decision as a victory of farmers. “Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao played a key role in repealing farm laws,” Dr Rajeshwar Reddy said and expressed his condolences to the kin of the bereaved families, who participated in the anti-farm agitations and lost their lives. He demanded the Centre to procure paddy harvested in Telangana and allow the State to cultivate paddy in the ensuing Yasangi season.
