Centre will purchase every single grain of raw rice: Kishan

‘The real issue is of vicious propaganda unleashed by Chief Minister and his govt.’
The Centre will purchase every single grain of raw rice being grown by Telangana farmers as per the agreement with the State government and is ready to buy in the forthcoming season itself, affirmed Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Northeast States, G. Kishan Reddy, on Monday.
"The Centre has not put any conditions to paddy procurement and will reimburse the cost to Telangana, but the real issue is vicious propaganda unleashed by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and his government to divert people's attention from the resounding defeat in the Huzurabad bypoll," he asserted.
Addressing a press conference, Mr. Reddy accused the TRS government of “misusing official machinery, launching welfare schemes and releasing funds only for the constituency, besides distributing large sums of money to purchase voters and leaders to win the bypoll hook or crook.”
