Political Maneuvering Amid Paddy Woes in Telangana
As the agricultural sector grapples with the aftermath of withered crops and water scarcity in Telangana, political parties engage in a heated battle to leverage the situation to their advantage. The Opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and ruling Congress party spar over relief measures, with the former demanding higher compensation for crop losses.
Meanwhile, BJP attempts to assert its relevance by highlighting Centre’s support for procuring parboiled rice. Amidst accusations and promises, the core issue of withering paddy fields due to irrigation challenges remains largely unaddressed. As election fervor intensifies, parties shift focus towards electoral gains, leaving the plight of farmers unresolved in the wake of impending polling day on May 13.
