Hyderabad: Terming the visit of a delegation of TRS Ministers and MPs to New Delhi as a drama, BJP MLA M Raghunandan Rao on Wednesday said the ruling party was unnecessarily delaying the procurement of paddy and causing problems to farmers.

Interacting with media persons in New Delhi, he sought to know as to why the Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao failed to supply urea free to farmers. He accused the TRS of unnecessarily making visits to New Delhi and staging protests instead of completing the paddy procurement process.

The TRS was doing all these protests and frequently visiting New Delhi to divert the attention of people from the by-election result in Huzurabad Assembly constituency, Rao said.

“Is the State government unable to see lakhs of tonnes of paddy piled up at the procurement centres?” he asked, demanding the government to expedite the procurement process in the larger interest of farmers.

Rao along with the Union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy, three MPs – Bandi Sanjay Kumar, D Arvind and Soyam Babu Rao, and two other MLAs – Etala Rajender and T Raja Singh – met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on Tuesday to discuss various measures to be taken to strengthen the party in Telangana on all fronts.

The BJP leaders also met the Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Piyush Goyal and explained in detail about the paddy procurement issue in the State.
