In Gadwal, Dr. Kurva Vijay Kumar, a leader of the BRS party, has called for immediate action to support cotton seed farmers facing unfair treatment. He insists that cotton seed companies must pay full compensation to affected farmers by June 25, 2025. If these companies ignore the Farmer Commission’s orders, Dr. Vijay Kumar plans to seek justice through the Telangana High Court.
Dr. Vijay Kumar accuses seed companies and their organizers of cheating farmers. Although the farmers’ products passed quality checks, companies falsely claimed failure and withheld payments, causing financial harm.
On June 10, 2025, the BRS party filed a complaint with the Farmer Commission in Hyderabad, urging action against these deceptive practices. Responding to this, the Farmer Commission Chairman, Kodandareddy, visited Gadwal on June 13 to examine the situation.
Today, a pivotal meeting occurred at BRK Bhavan in Hyderabad. The Farmer Commission met with seed company representatives. This meeting resulted from the pressure applied by the BRS party and Dr. Vijay Kumar’s persistent efforts.
The Farmer Commission ordered all cotton seed companies to settle outstanding payments to wrongly assessed farmers by June 25. Dr. Vijay Kumar celebrated this as a significant win for Gadwal farmers, crediting the BRS’s tireless work.
Dr. Vijay Kumar questioned the presence of Congress leaders at the official meeting, suggesting it might raise concerns about their intentions.
He also stated that if any company does not comply with the Farmer Commission’s directive, the BRS will take the issue to the Telangana High Court. He urged the state government to take strict action against non-compliant companies, including banning them if necessary.
Dr. Vijay Kumar stressed the need for government accountability, insisting these companies must compensate the farmers and face penalties for their deceit. The BRS party supports the farmers and vows to continue the fight until justice is served.
This situation is crucial in the ongoing battle for seed farmers’ rights as political pressure and regulatory actions start showing results. With the June 25 deadline near, the focus is on whether the seed companies will comply or if the legal struggle will intensify.
