Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 10 (ANI): Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Tuesday slammed the Centre for allegedly refusing to procure entire Kharif (summer or monsoon crop) paddy produced in Telangana and announced that the party would protest against it in all Assembly Constituencies on November 12.

Speaking to ANI, TRS leader Krishank said, "TRS has not supported farm bills and protested against it in Telangana. Now the Government of India has come up with a new paddy procurement policy and strictly says that no parboiled rice will be purchased from Telangana. At the same time, it is limiting the procurement of paddy, and has also asked the state to discourage paddy production and encourage other crops."
