Conspiracy To Hand Agri Sector To Corporates: Telangana's KCR Slams BJP | Read

After setting the Centre a 24-hour deadline to procure foodgrain from Telangana's farmers, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today heaped insults on the Central government and accused the BJP of weakening the agriculture sector. This, he said, is a conspiracy to hand over the agriculture sector to corporates and reduce farmers to labourers. Mr Rao had set up a fresh face-off with the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi with a dispute involving the purchase of rice from farmers in his state.
