Centre against providing subsidies, more MSP to farmers: KCR

Deccan Chronicle  

WARANGAL: The Centre is forcing the state government not to pay more than the minimum support price for paddy, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao alleged on Saturday. Only our Union government is against it and even forces the state governments not to provide MSP to farmers," he said while addressing farmers at Kodakandla in Jangaon district where he inaugurated the Rythu Vedika. The Chief Minister said that due to the provision imposed by the FCI, it was not possible to provide a higher price for the fine variety of paddy immediately and that it would surely work out a way that brings higher profits to farmers, who cultivated fine paddy. Agriculture minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy, panchayat raj minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao, Women, child and ST welfare minister Satyavathi Rathod, Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar, Government Whip B. Venkateshwarlu were present on the occasion.
