PM Narendra Modi must give clarity on reviving farm laws: TRS

HYDERABAD: The ruling TRS has demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should give clarity on the talk of the three central farm laws being revived after they were repealed a few weeks ago. Finance minister T Harish Rao on Sunday demanded that Modi should come clean on the issue and that Union minister Narendra Singh Tomar should withdraw his comments that the three draconian central farm laws could be revived in future. He also demanded that Union minister Tomar tender an unconditional apology to the farmers for his comments on farm laws revival as many farmers lost their lives during the year-log agitation against the draconian farm laws. The finance minister sought to invoke the blessings of the presiding deity at Komuravelli Mallanna temple in Siddipet district to give the required sense to the centre to take a correct decision on procurement of paddy from Telangana. Addressing a gathering after offering the silk clothes to Komuravelli Mallikarjuna Swamy at the temple along with animal husbandry minister T Srinivas Yadav and labour minister Ch Malla Reddy on Sunday, Harish said the three farm laws were repealed after more than one year of agitation and sacrifices of about 700 farmers. TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy also condemned Tomar’s statement that the farm laws might be revived. “The ‘suit boot ki sarkar’ of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is insulting the farmers by stating that the farm laws might be re-introduced,” he said.
