Protest against Centre’s refusal to buy paddy in current rabi
Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the party MPs to organise a dharna in front of Parliament House in New Delhi in a day or two in protest against the refusal of the Centre to buy paddy produced in the State in the current rabi.
He gave the instructions while addressing the Parliamentary party meeting of TRS on the eve of commencement of the winter session of Parliament on Monday. All the MPs of TRS of both Houses were asked to participate in the protest, sources said.
A release later said the meeting expressed its resentment over the failure of the Centre to break the stalemate even after a delegation of Ministers from the State met Union Food and PDS Minister Piyush Goyal and officials led by Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar discussed the matter with officials in the Ministry.
