Mr. Puvvada Ajay Kumar, the Transport Minister of Telangana lashed out on the Central Government over the paddy procurement issue.  On the 8th of April, Friday, he took part in a bike rally with black flags as a sign of protest against the Centre for not buying paddy from Telangana farmers.

Addressing the people who took part in the bike rally, Mr. Puvvada Ajay Kumar said that the Central Government is cheating the farmers of Telangana and the country.  He said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President of Telangana, Mr. Bandi Sanjay is changing words every time.  said that when the Government asked the farmers not to yield paddy in the upcoming Rabi season, Mr. Bandi Sanjay and the Union Minister for Telangana State Mr. G Kishan Reddy said that the Central Government would buy every grain from the farmers but now are numb on the issue and blaming the State government.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Minister said that the Central Government’s attitude towards the Telangana farmers is not good and they are showing partiality between Telangana and Punjab states.

Mr. Puvvada Ajay Kumar questioned if the Centre can buy para-boiled rice from Punjab then why it cannot purchase it from Telangana.  He flayed that the Centre has not only cheated farmers but has burdened the poor by imposing hikes in petrol, diesel and gas cylinders prices. He said that the TRS will not stop agitations till the Centre agrees to purchase the paddy from Telangana farmers.

The ongoing Paddy Procurement issue intensified with the Telangana Government’s constant protests and rallies against the Centre.
