TRS govt doesn’t allow installation of meters at agriculture pump sets: KTR

Hyderabad, Oct.15 (NSS): Minister for IT and Industries KT Rama Rao has reiterated that the TRS government will not allow the installation of electric meters at the agriculture pump sets and it will go to any extent for opposing the Centre’s decision.

Addressing an awareness meeting for farmers at Manneguda in Turkayamjal Municipality on the outskirts of Hyderabad on Saturday, Minister KT Rama Rao alleged that the BJP government at the Centre was pressurizing the TRS government to install meters at the agriculture pump sets for granting the loans and other budgetary allocations and however, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was opposing the Centre’s move for the interests of farmers.

Lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for implementing the lopsided policies against farmers, KTR alleged that the Union government was planning to privatize the procurement of food grains in the country and it’s move was going to become a threat to the survival of farmers.

Stating that the cultivation area in Telangana has reached up to about 1.35 crore acres,  the Minister said the Telangana paddy production in 2022 is now about 3.50 crore tonnes while it was 68 lakh tonnes in 2014.

“Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is trying to make all sections of the people prosperous by implementing various welfare schemes while PM Modi is trying to make few people rich by awarding the contracts,” KTR alleged.

He also stated that Telangana is only the State in India supplying interrupted power supply to all segments and such a facility is nowhere in the country.

Ministers Niranjan Reddy, Sabitha Indra Reddy, and other leaders were present. (NSS)
