Bandi Sanjay to ensure paddy procurement by Centre

Dalit Bandhu is a copy of Centre’s ‘Stand up India’, says BJP president
Telangana state BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar said he will take the responsibility for the Centre to purchase the entire paddy produced by farmers and demanded Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao to apologise for trying to ‘mislead’ people about the procurement policy.
“It is the Centre, which does procurement and Mr. Rao has no role except to be a middleman. He is unneccessarily scaring the farmers by asking them not to raise rice crop,” he told a public meeting as his ‘Praja Sangrama Yatra’ entered the 31st day in Rajanna-Sircilla district on Monday.
Continuing his padayatra amid heavy rain, Mr. Sanjay Kumar focused his attack on Chief Minister and senior Minister K.T. Rama Rao and claimed that Dalit Bandhu scheme was but a mere copy of Modi government’s “Stand up India” to provide financial support to the tune of ₹1-5 crore for Dalits to become entrepreneurs.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
