“When I don’t support them (BJP) they brand me as anti-national. BJP also brands people as urban naxals if they speak against them. I’m asking a simple question will the Centre buy the state’s parboiled rice or not?,” said KCR.

Since September, the Telangana government has been asking the Centre to purchase parboiled rice from farmers. KCR on Sunday claimed that the Centre was not paying heed to the situation.
