Language problem with buffaloes!
The state government’s decisions at times create piquant situation to legislators at ground level. The state government introduced rules to purchase buffaloes from other states for increasing the number of buffaloes in the state under government aid scheme.
Vijayawada: The state government’s decisions at times create piquant situation to legislators at ground level. The state government introduced rules to purchase buffaloes from other states for increasing the number of buffaloes in the state under government aid scheme.
Following the decision, a number of beneficiaries brought buffaloes from Haryana and Tamil Nadu. But most of these imported buffaloes were not giving milk, said Pithapuram MLA S V S N Varma.

- Faults state govt for not allowing their purchase within state
Raising the topic in the AP Assembly here on Tuesday, the MLA said that beneficiaries were ready to corner the MLAs if the government does not change the rules for purchasing buffaloes within the state.
The MLA also made interesting comments raising the topic during the Question Hour. Much to the amusement of the House, he said that the buffaloes which are being imported from Tamil Nadu and Haryana do not understand the language of Telugu people and are not giving milk.
The buffaloes are being transported from other states on trucks packed like sardines, he said, and added that was also one of the reasons for their falling sick, if not injured.
Women generate income from dairy products, he said, and added that the rules framed by the state government turned a big problem to them. He requested the government to make necessary changes facilitating purchase of buffaloes from the 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh.
However, the grass-root level problem of the MLA drew the attention of other MLAs in the House who agreed with him. Speaker Kodela Siva Prasad Rao too supported him.
Labour minister Atchannaidu said that the rules were framed to improve the strength of buffaloes in the state. However, he assured them that the government would pursue the issue.
