Telangana BJP OBC Morcha President K Laxman today launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's decision to support the ongoing farmers' protest.
Laxman claimed that the CM had extended his support to the protestors out of his habit of "yelling against the BJP" whenever he got the chance, and asked the CM to explain what was wrong with giving farmers the freedom to sell their produce in an open market system.
He added that if KCR was sincerely committed to the farmers' cause, he would have extended his support to them instead of simply participating in the December 8 Bharat Bandh that they had called for.
He then accused the CM of only pretending to be pro-farmer while in reality being a leader who had ignored the welfare of the farmers of his own state.
"The CM is acting like a Tughlaq ruler who wants to secure his own benefit. How can he support the farmers in Delhi when he has not even looked after the farmers of his own state? Can the person who diverted the funds sanctioned by the union government for soil testing, stand by farmers, or be committed to providing welfare? The CM has not even been able to deliver the unemployment wages he had promised. Now, he is even dragging his feet over the procurement of the fine quality rice at the MSP in the state. KCR is not pro-farmer at all. He is doing all this only to discredit the BJP-led union government, and to fill the pockets of middlemen," Laxman alleged, and called KCR the eighth Nizam of the state.
Laxman also said that the state was being run according to the rules of the CM's own constitution and not the Indian constitution.
