Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi will highlight its opposition to the new farm laws in the Budget session of the Parliament and also bring to the notice of the House the pending issues pertaining to the State, according to the TRS parliamentary party leader K Keshava Rao.
However, the party made it clear that the violence during the farmers’ protests in New Delhi on January 26, cannot be justified.

Speaking to mediapersons in New Delhi on Saturday, Keshava Rao asserted that the TRS had already made its stand clear on the new farm laws and will continue to oppose them in the Parliament. He said the Centre ignored the demands of TRS to send the farm laws to the Select Committee for review. “Agriculture is a State subject. By bringing farm laws at the national level, the Centre is undermining the spirit of federalism. The Centre should give legitimacy to its promise of giving MSP by including the same in the farm laws,” he added.

He said that boycotting the Presidential Address would tantamount to justifying the violence on January 26. “Though the Opposition parties have asked us to join them and boycott the Presidential Address during the Joint Parliament session, we refused as it would mean that we are justifying the violence. We welcome the Centre’s decision to continue talks with the farmers with an open mind and request the Centre not to ignore their demands using the January 26 violence as an excuse,” he said.

Keshava Rao suggested that the Centre accommodate Minimum Support Price (MSP) in the new farm laws as was being demanded by the agitating farmers.

He also demanded for a discussion on implementation of the OBC reservations and also women’s reservations which have been pending in the Parliament for about seven years. He found fault with the Centre for conducting the Parliament session without vaccinating all the Parliament members.

TRS Lok Sabha floor leader Nama Nageshwara Rao stated that the agriculture sector was top priority for Telangana which has become a role model for others in implementation of welfare and development activities in the sector. He said that Telangana was far ahead of other States in the country which was highlighted during the President’s speech. However, he pointed out that the financial condition was severely affected due to the Covid-19 crisis and emphasised the need for Centre and the State governments to work together to tide over the situation.

“The State is suffering revenue losses due to adverse impact of Covid-19. While there are only three years left, the promises made under the AP Reorganisation Act are not fulfilled. Several railway and national highway projects sanctioned to the State, have been kept pending. Funds too are not being released promptly. We will raise these issues in both the Houses,” he added.
