The State Government has requested the Central government yet again to give clarity on purchase of paddy from Telangana.
A delegation of Telangana Ministers, MPs and senior officials led by Minister K.T. Rama Rao called on Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday and briefed him about the crop yields in the State. Mr. Rama Rao was particular about the quantum of the food grain that the Centre was prepared to purchase from the State.
He wanted the Centre to clarify as to the quantum of paddy that would be purchased and the form in which it would be made. Mr. Piyush Goyal was explained about the problems faced by the farmers on account of delays in the announcement of the Centre’s decision. Mr. Goyal met the Telangana delegation at Krishi Bhavan after participating in a meeting with a business delegation from the US.
