Hyderabad: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the withdrawal of three farm laws, PUC Chairman A Jeevan Reddy demanded an explanation from State BJP leaders, who went hammer and tongs supporting the farm laws enacted by the Central Government. State BJP president Bandi Sanjay and Nizamabad MP D Arvind had described the farm laws as excellent laws aimed at benefiting the farming community. But their leader at New Delhi announced that the laws were withdrawn, he said.

“What explanation can State BJP leaders give after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement over the farm laws,” asked Jeevan Reddy. He further said the Prime Minister had made the announcement following Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s statement that he would lead the farmers’ movement across the country. Taking a dig at TPCC president A Revanth Reddy, he said the Congress leader had no moral right to question the government over paddy procurement.

In Huzurabad by-poll, the TPCC president had colluded with the State BJP. Similarly, he was now trying to collude with the saffron party over the paddy procurement issue to derive political mileage, alleged Jeevan Reddy.

Already, the State Government was procuring paddy and amount was being deposited into the farmers’ accounts. Like State BJP president Bandi Sanjay, farmers will also pull up the TPCC president at the procurement centres, if he tried to enact dramas, he charged. Countering the Congress party leaders’ comments on excise notification, he said liquor shops were not confined to Telangana. Many Congress-ruled State Governments were also issuing notifications for setting up liquor shops and generating huge revenue, he pointed out.
