Telangana BJP Stages Counter-Protest In Hyderabad

BJP state unit chief Bandi Sanjay alleged that Chief Minister KCR staged the protest in Delhi for political ends

Hyderabad: In a counter to TRS' 'maha dharna' in Delhi over paddy procurement issue, BJP's Telangana unit on Monday staged a protest in Hyderabad's Dharna Chowk.

BJP leaders demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao should procure paddy from Telangana farmers or should resign. The saffron party leaders staged the protest demanding the state government to open procurement centres and buy paddy from farmers.

BJP state unit chief Bandi Sanjay alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao staged the protest in Delhi to gain political mileage. He said the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government's protest was aimed at diverting people's attention from its failures. The BJP chief said the people of Telangana were not ready to believe KCR's 'fake protest'. He alleged that the chief minister was cheating farmers and blaming the Centre.
