Centre spreads untruth on Paddy: Niranjan
Hyderabad, March 22 (Maxim News): Agriculture Minister S Niranjan Reddy today criticised the Centre for adopting dual standards on paddy procurement. While leaving for Delhi to take up the paddy row with the centre a team of ministers left from Shamshabad International Airport in Hyderabad.
Talking to media persons, Niranjan Reddy with ministers Kamalakar and Puvvada Ajay Kumar, stated that the Union Minister was spreading untruth on the paddy. The Centre cannot deny our paddy as it takes from Punjab. Why such partiality towards our state which is ready with paddy of Yasangi season. The state government will appeal to the union minister to procure our paddy from the state. We have procured the same and the Centre should lift the stocks from FCI and then provide special rail rakes to shift the same, he said. Though the Centre is not doing so in this regard and we are intensifying our protest, Niranjan Reddy said.
The Chief Minister will take a call if the centre denies lifting the paddy stocks through FCI. It is for the centre to shift total stocks of the paddy, either it is raw rice or boiled rice without any objection, he said. The Centre says to get only raw rice and not the boiled one which we have and the union minister is spreading falsehood on the same, he deplored. Our team will meet with the union minister and appeal the same and hope to get solution, the ministers said. If not, the chief minister will come up with a plan of action, he said. (Maxim News)
