Repeal of farm laws is a morale booster for TS farmers to take on KCR
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy has said that Telangana farmers were inspired with the victory of the farming community that forced the Modi government to repeal the three farm laws and was ready to throw out the TRS government now for its failure to procure paddy.
Mr. Reddy, who visited the threshing yards of paddy farmers in Nizamabad district as a part of the party’s “Kallallo Congress” on Friday interacted with the farmers, said Modi government repealing the farm laws was a morale boosters for Telangana farmers to fight for their rights. Congress would support them as it did at the national-level against the farm laws.
The farmers explained how they were pushed into financial distress with the crop loss due to recent heavy rains. Farmers said that they had brought paddy to the procurement centres 15 days ago but the officials were yet to procure. Meanwhile, heavy rains spoiled the produce. Farmers also explained the difficulties they have been facing due to uncertainty over paddy cultivation. Many farmers complained of non-payment of MSP for their produce while a few complained about the huge rise in input cost due to the increase in prices of diesel.
