KCR’s silence an insult to farmers, says Cong
Description
Hyderabad: Congress has charged the TRS with entering into a secret pact with the BJP on the farm laws and dubbed chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s silence on the farmers’ agitation as an “insult to the annadatha” (farmers). Congress MPs from Telangana — N Uttam Kumar Reddy, A Revanth Reddy and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy — on Wednesday told mediapersons in Delhi that KCR was insulting the farmers who have been agitating for over 70 days and condemned his decision to close down the procurement centres for purchase of paddy in the state. They alleged that while Narendra Modi government at the Centre is harassing the farmers, KCR regime in Telangana is exploiting them. Uttam, who is also president of Telangana Congress, said the Centre is misleading the nation by claiming that it enjoyed people’s support on the new farm laws to override the state APMC Acts.
