Harish Rao accused the Modi government of allowing import of maize crop about 70 lak metric tons. The TRS demands cancellation of the two bills and continue protests with other parties in Delhi.
Telangana has procured 10 lakh metric tons of maize from our farmers and the centre has to purchase it. Instead giving hand to states by importing this crop the minister expressed discontent.
The centre, he said, plans to offer farm produce to private operators to help corporate forces. This will ruin future of the farmers across the country and time is to protest he said.
