"Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said that farmers and farming related bills introduced by Centre in Parliament would do a lot of injustice to the farm sector in the country. Chief Minister said these bills are nothing but a sugar-coated pill and should be opposed at all costs," Chief Minster's Office said in a press release.

"They are saying that farmers can sell their produce anywhere in the country with these new Bills. But is it possible for farmers to take their small produce to long-distance areas bearing the heavy transport charges and sell it at good price? These Bills are nothing but a sugar-coated pill," the Chief Minister said.
