Congress ready to fight for farmers of State: TPCC president

Hyderabad: TPCC president and party MP A. Revanth Reddy on Sunday said his party was ready to fight for solving the problems of the farmers of the State.

Commenting on the ongoing paddy procurement process, Revanth Reddy alleged that the farmers were being harassed by the State administration and rice millers. He alleged that the State and Central governments, which are supposed to come to the rescue of the farmers, were fighting with each other by targeting each other with their political attacks.

Taking to his official twitter handle, Revanth Reddy said while the officials of the State were checking quality of the paddy and monitoring their weight, the rice millers were not taking delivery of the paddy citing lack of quality. He said some rice millers were harassing the farmers by stating that they would deduct 3 kg of paddy per quintal by citing its quality.
