Hope Centre solves farmers’ issues: Gutha

Hyderabad: Legislative council chairman Gutha Sukender Reddy on Sunday said the three farm laws brought in by the Narendra Modi government will add to the financial burden of the states and will also adversely affect farmers. “I hope that PM Modi will find an amicable solution to the demands of agitating farmers at the meeting to be held with farmers association leaders on December 29,” he said. Stating that the farmers from north Indian states were continuing their agitation even after 30 days by braving the cold in Delhi, he said the situation of farmers in the north was different from their counterparts in south. The KCR government in Telangana has been purchasing agriculture produce from farmers at MSP. “As per the new farm laws of the Centre, the states have to purchase 75% of the paddy and pulses, while the Centre will purchase only 25% of it. This will cause financial burden on state governments,” he said.
