“Farmers are left at the mercy of middlemen, with no support price for their crops. Extortion has become the norm in market yards,” he said, slamming the government for not ensuring Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for key crops like paddy and cotton.
The BRS working president further said that the Congress government has undone the progress in rural and urban Telangana achieved during the previous government. He then lashed out at the chief minister for handing over irrigation projects worth Rs 4,350 crore to firms including Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Limited (MEIL) and Raghava Constructions, despite demands for blacklisting over previous project failures.
“Is this blatant favouritism the Congress’s version of governance?” he asked, demanding accountability from the government.
