BJP hits out at Telangana govt for failing to procure paddy

BJP Rajya Sabha member K Laxman criticised the State government over sluggish procurement of paddy from farmers during the current Kharif season.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Laxman alleged due to the failure of the State government to procure paddy farmers were incurring losses. He stated that



farmers were still unable to sell their paddy at procurement centres even after bringing the produce to the centres two months ago and questioned the State government’s inability to manage procurement operations when the union government fully funds paddy procurement by offering the minimum support price (MSP) of Rs. 2,320 per quintal.
