Awareness campaign on changing of crop needed, says CLP Leader
Congress party has alleged that the Central and State governments were playing with paddy farmers of Telangana by not giving clarity on the procurement of rice and making confusing statements on the issue.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader M. Bhatti Vikramarka said the farming community of Telangana, particularly those cultivating paddy, were in total confusion as the views/statements of the Centre, State BJP and State government were divergent.
While the Centre (FCI) had written to the State Government (Civil Supplies Corporation) earlier this year making it clear that it would not procure boiled rice in Telangana henceforth, the State government had been asking farmers not to go for paddy cultivation, particularly in Rabi (Yasangi) season as there would be no procurement of boiled rice, which is produced in the season, and that it would not procure paddy produced this Rabi.
