By our Special Correspondent

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday claimed that paddy procurement was already completed in 21 out of 33 districts and alleged that in a few places, politically motivated protests were being staged.

In the wake of the protests, the Chief Minister asked the authorities to conduct field visits and address the issues immediately.

  “Such small incidents are getting a lot of publicity and politically motivated protests are taking place in some areas,” Revanth Reddy said, pointing out that it happened because the government was not focusing on a campaign on successful paddy procurement.
