Farmers threaten road blockade in A.P.
Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: The farmers’ wings of all Opposition parties will organise blockade of roads across the State from 11 a.m. to noon on June 19 demanding a Minimum Support Price of Rs. 1,000 a quintal for paddy.
The demonstration was finalised by leaders of the organisations at a meeting convened by Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sangham, affiliated to CPI, at the Makhdoom Bhavan on Friday. It was attended, among others, by C. Muthyam Reddy (TDP), P. Sugunakar Rao (BJP), Surender Reddy (TRS) and Prabhakar Reddy (Federation of Farmers Organisations).
The Rythu Sangham State president K. Ramakrishna told reporters on the occasion that a delegation will submit a memorandum to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy demanding MSP of Rs. 1,000 on Saturday. All party meetings in the districts to intensify the stir would be held on June 15.
He said the MSP of Rs. 1,000 was justified as the cost of cultivation of paddy had gone up.
