Union Minister Responds to Paddy Procurement Row, Targets CM Remarks
The paddy procurement row in Telangana intensified after Union Minister and Telangana BJP president Kishan Reddy strongly reacted to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s recent remarks on paddy procurement by the Centre. The latest update has triggered fresh political exchanges between the ruling Congress government and the BJP ahead of key policy discussions.
The controversy began after Chief Minister Revanth Reddy reportedly stated that if the Centre failed to procure paddy, Union Ministers would not be allowed to cross village boundaries in the state. The comments drew a sharp response from Kishan Reddy, who rejected the remarks and accused the state leadership of engaging in political rhetoric.
Paddy Procurement Row Sparks Fresh Political Exchange
Addressing the issue, Kishan Reddy said no one born on this soil could stop him from moving among the people. In his official statement, he asserted that he was not a leader who would be intimidated by political threats or pressure.
The BJP leader also took aim at the Congress party, claiming that voters would reject the party in the future. He further criticised senior Congress leadership and questioned the party’s political direction at the national level.
Kishan Reddy Criticises Telangana Government Over Governance
Continuing his attack, Kishan Reddy alleged that while the Chief Minister’s statements crossed political boundaries, the government's actions were failing to move beyond administrative offices. He suggested that governance should take priority over political remarks.
The Union Minister used the occasion to question the state government's performance and delivery on public issues. His comments added another layer to the ongoing political confrontation between the BJP and the Congress in Telangana.
Political Reactions Follow Revanth Reddy Remarks
The exchange comes amid continued debate over paddy procurement and the responsibilities of the Centre and state governments. While no police investigation or case registered aspects have emerged in connection with the remarks, the political dispute has remained a subject of discussion among party leaders.
The incident details reflect a growing war of words between the two sides on issues linked to agriculture, governance and public policy. The latest update in the paddy procurement row is expected to keep the issue in focus as both parties continue to defend their positions.
