Farmer has the right to grow any crop that gets MSP, says YS Sharmila

Telangana farmers are stuck in the blame game played by the TRS government and the BJP-led Center around paddy cultivation and subsequent supply, YSRTP founding president YS Sharmila observed on Saturday.

She asserted that the cultivation of paddy or any other crop, once the minimum support price is announced, will remain the farmer’s right and that it will be up to governments to procure the product.

However, by abandoning the farmers, KCR escapes this responsibility. What is he going to accomplish by protesting in his own governance here? He should have protested the day the Center notified the restrictions on the supply of paddy to Telangana. He should have organized dharna and press meetings in Delhi, she said.

Ms Sharmila launched a 72-hour Rythu Vedana (Farmers ‘Anguish) deeksha to protest the state governments’ approach to farmers, especially the repressive ordinances on rice cultivation during Rabi’s farming season which followed and its supply. She spoke to farmers and Dharna Chowk activists near Indira Park and later that day continued her deeksha at her residence in Jubilee Hills.

Taking pictures at KCR, while recalling Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s (TRS) popular promise to provide us with every last grain, she wondered if the gigantic Kaleswaram project was built for orders and to plead no to paddy. .

In accordance with the deliberations between the TRS and BJP governments on the agreed quantity for supply and meeting other requirements, she demanded that KCR procure paddy to the last grain.

Ms Sharmila, comparing Telangana with neighboring states that buy MSP plus bonus products from farmers, also observed that CM KCR’s government was anti-farmer, which grants a few thousand investments, but escaped at least Rs. 24,000 through chiefs such as crop insurance, input subsidies and others.

While Dr YSR’s government was a former farmer who bought paddy from MSP + 20% bonus, among various other policies, KCR is a cheater who also escaped loan exemption to 36 lakh farmers, he said. – she points out.
