“China is attacking us in Arunachal Pradesh but the Centre hasn’t taken any action,” Rao said in Hyderabad, ANI reported.
The Telangana Chief Minister voiced his “support” to the farmers protesting against the three farm laws.
The farmers mostly from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have been protesting over the last 11 months demanding that the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, Farmers’ (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020, be rolled back and a new law made to guarantee minimum support price for crops.
Continuing his outburst against the Centre, Rao said: What has BJP done in the last seven years? India’s GDP is less than Bangladesh, Pakistan and Centre has increased taxes unnecessarily.”
