They stated to intensify the stir until the BJP government comes to take the stocks and give clarity. The Centre is deliberately delaying the process and should lift Paddy, rice, the TRS leaders said. The centre should give reply on how much quantity of paddy, rice it will procure from the state and follow same procedure without any partiality, they said. Fix yearly target for paddy and rice to be procured besides formulation of an MSP Act for farm produce across the country, the MPs said. Also outside the parliament at Gandhi statue the TRS LS MPs staged protest with same demands.
