Bandi Sanjay to stage protest at party office today
Telangana BJP president and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar is to take up protest fast at the State party office from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday to highlight the government’s bid to “force the farmers to give up paddy cultivation”.
General secretary G. Premender Reddy announced in a statement on Wednesday that the party president has decided to take up the ‘deeksha’ to convey a message to the farming community that the party will stand by them and put pressure on the government to take a step back. Taking strong objection to the government ‘browbeating’ the farmers to prevent them from raising paddy, he said it was not fair to terrorise them against taking up age old farm practices.
TRS government had no business to talk of paddy cultivation since it is the Centre which procures the crop and in any case, the farmers should be convinced to take alternate crops by providing them with necessary inputs through proper awareness programmes and certainly not by scare mongering, he added.
