Efforts on to get MSP for cotton: TRS
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Friday advised the cotton farmers to store their produce in godowns (warehouses) and sell them only when they get Minimum Support Price (MSP). The TRS MLC Karne Prabhakar on Friday said the government was taking steps to ensure that the farmers get minimum support price for their produce and was in touch with the Central Ministers.
Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Friday advised the cotton farmers to store their produce in godowns (warehouses) and sell them only when they get Minimum Support Price (MSP). The TRS MLC Karne Prabhakar on Friday said the government was taking steps to ensure that the farmers get minimum support price for their produce and was in touch with the Central Ministers.
Agriculture Minister P Srinivas Reddy and Marketing Minister T Harish Rao have been writing letters to the Central Ministers from time to time on the MSP. Marketing Minister urged the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to set up more procurement centres in the State, Prabhakar said. He advised the farmers not to sell cotton in the market and store it at godowns.
The TRS leader took exception to the Congress leaders’ criticism and ridiculed K Venkat Reddy’s plans to take up Chalo Assembly with the farmers. Prabhakar said the Congress leaders can take up yatras if farmers come along with him.
The Chalo Assembly is nothing, but to wash off the sins of the Congress, he alleged. He said there were more suicides during the Congress regime and he asked the Congress leaders to apologise to the farmers first. Disregarding the Congress leaders claim that 90 per cent works of Kalvakurthy project were done by the Congress, Prabhakar raised questions as to why they did not complete the entire project.
He said the project designs were made in 1981, but the Congress did not complete the project even till 2001. The Congress should have completed the project during their ten-year rule and should have taken credit, he added.
Replying to S Jaipal Reddy’s remarks that the government did not release waters for Kharif season, Prabhakar said when there was no water in Srisailam, how the water could be released. He said the government had fixed a target of giving water to 2.6 lakh acres during the Rabi.
