Hyderabad, May 25, 2026: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has expressed strong concern over the Central Government’s inadequate procurement of food grains at the Minimum Support Price (MSP), stating that the Centre is failing to purchase even 30% of the total produce. This shortfall, he said, has forced the state government to buy almost every grain produced by farmers, placing an additional burden on the state exchequer.
