Hyderabad, Nov 5, 2013: YSR Congress Party farmers’ wing convener M. S. Nagi Reddy today condemned the action of the organizers of the international agricultural convention here in denying permission for the farmers to attend the meeting.

Nagi Reddy told reporters that it is unfortunate that more than 70 farmers, who came from several districts, were not allowed to attend the convention which was arranged to discuss the problems of the farmers and agriculture sector.

He alleged the Government has spent several crores of public money on the convention arranged by the private corporate companies.” The CM gave advertisements in the newspapers inviting farmers for the convention. But, when the farmers came to attend, they were asked to pay Rs.5800 each for attending the convention,” he said.
