During his recent visit to Delhi, where he joined a protest, "I asked them if they don't have the money or the Prime Minister has no heart to buy foodgrain", K Chandrashekar Rao said.
After setting a 24-hour deadline for the Centre regarding procurement of foodgrains from Telangana's farmers, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao accused the BJP of weakening the agriculture sector. This, he said, is a conspiracy to hand over the agriculture sector to corporates and reduce farmers to labourers, he added.
The Chief Minister held a cabinet meeting today to discuss the strategy to move forward. The cabinet has taken some key decisions, sources said.
"The Adani group was saved by setting aside Rs 12,000 crore but they are not ready to spend Rs 3000 crore to buy foodgrain from farmers... We wanted to expose their anti-farmer policies," Mr Rao said. In his recent visit to Delhi, where he joined a protest, he said, "I asked them if they don't have the money or the Prime Minister has no heart to buy foodgrain".
