Telangana State Planning Board Vice-Chairman B. Vinod Kumar has expressed concern over the ‘unstable’ policies of the Centre on export of food grains and the repercussions that the country is likely to face in the global arena.
Barely a month back, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced his meeting with US president Joe Biden that India was ready to supply (export) food grains to the needy countries, but he had taken the decision banning wheat exports within a month of his announcement, Mr. Vinod Kumar pointed out. He sought to know what made the Prime Minister go back on his decision when the Centre had been claiming to have surplus stocks of all the major food grains.
He expressed surprise whether the Prime Minister was not aware or have no understanding of the production of major crops in the country. His action would clearly indicate again that he had no love for farmers and was actually against the interests of the farming community. The BJP government’s agenda appears to be deceiving farmers and putting them into trouble time and again.
