Telangana: Seed counters in all mandals from next kharif

He said the BRS government had encouraged private seed companies and took a policy decision benefiting private players while neglecting the interests of the corporation.

Speaking to media, Anvesh Reddy criticized the BRS and its anti-farmer policy and scarping all subsidies given in the past by the Congress government.

He said BRS policies created a gap between corporation and farmers and the latter fully depended on the seeds manufactured by the private companies.

Anvesh Reddy said, the Congress government is trying to establish relationship with farmers and motivate them to buy seeds of the Seed Development Corporation.

He said the state government is committed to implementing crop loan waiver of up to Rs 2 lakh to farmers and appealed to farmers not to fall into the opposition parties’ trap. Earlier, he held a review meeting with farmers and officials of Marfed of Adilabad.
