Minister Gangula Kamalakar visited Kamanpur village in Karimnagar district on Thursday to inspect the damaged crops and grain purchase centre. He asked Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan to write a letter to the Centre to support Telangana farmers who were struggling because of untimely rains. Kamalakar alleged that the Centre enjoys the GST taxes paid by the people of the State but does not cooperate when the same people and farmers are in trouble. He demanded that the Food Corporation of India relax its rules in purchasing grain.
Kamalakar spoke to the media and criticized the Governor for talking politics when farmers were suffering. He said that it was right for the Governor to make inappropriate complaints to the Prime Minister KCR was not giving an appointment. Kamalakar suggested that Union Ministers and MPs should not be involved in politics but should support the people of the State and the farmers and should stand by the State government which is working for the farmers.
Kamalakar requested the Governor to take the responsibility of requesting the Centre to give another Rs 20,000 in addition to the compensation being given by the State government if she was in favor of Telangana farmers. He inspected the farmers’ crop fields and grain purchase centre in Kamanpur village of Kothapalli mandal of Karimnagar district.
