Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy reiterated the allegation that the Agriculture Leadership Award being conferred by the Indian Council for Food & Agriculture (ICFA), an organization of dubious background, on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was totally fake.
“In the last four years of his governance, KCR has pushed the farming community into its most serious crisis ever. The result of failure to implement his assurance on farm loan waiver, failure to provide MSP to farmers, and lack of pro-active measures by the government have led over 3,500 farmers to suicide. In this background, it is shocking that any worthwhile organization would present agriculture achievement award to CM KCR,” he said.
"Although we leave accepting or not accepting the award to the wisdom of the Chief Minister, any agriculture award to KCR is completely unacceptable as he is responsible for pushing Telangana's farm sector into deepest crisis," said Uttam Kumar Reddy.
He said that a fake award is being given by a letter-head organisation whose chief is affiliated with the BJP. It was a bogus company, he pointed out.
