Khammam: The Central government has been adopting a step-motherly attitude towards Telangana State in paddy procurement, Transport Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar said on Saturday.

“The Food Corporation of India’s (FCI) policy in paddy procurement was not correct. Farmers in the State are worried as the Centre was dilly-dallying with regard to paddy procurement. The farmers who harvested paddy are being forced to wait to sell the produce,” he said.

Speaking to press persons along with TRS Lok Sabha floor leader Nama Nageswara Rao here, Ajay Kumar demanded the Centre to immediately begin the paddy procurement. In erstwhile Khammam paddy harvesting has already started, he said.

Referring to SCCL’s coal blocks auctioning, the minister alleged that the BJP government at the Centre was adopting anti-people policies. The TRS strongly opposed the Centre’s anti-people and anti-farmers policies.

Ajay Kumar expressed confidence that the TRS party would win the Khammam Local Authorities Constituency MLC election with a huge majority. He thanked everyone who worked for the success of the party.

MP Nageswara also expressed similar views and said the party candidate T Madhusudhan was going to win with a huge majority. He alleged that the Central government was depriving the rights of people in the country.

The party leaders observed silence for two minutes expressing deepest condolences to CDS Bipin Rawat, his wife and 11 others killed in a helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu recently. Rawat’s death was a great loss to the country, they said.

MLA S Venkata Veeraiah, ZP Chairman Lingala Kamal Raju, DCCB Chairman K Nagabhushanam, Mayor P Neeraja, SUDA Chairman B Vijay Kumar, AMC Chairman Lakshmi Prasanna, district party office in-charge Gundala Krishna and others were present.
