Hyderabad: YSRCP is supporting the farmers of tobacco. The minimum crop rate for tobacco is not been provided by the present State Government said Jagan Mohan Reddy. While last year the rate for one kilo is Rs. 170 and above, but now it is Rs. 110. At least the minimum rate of Rs. 150 should be given demanded the MLC Dr Umma Reddy Venkateswarlu. The period given by the Opposition leader YS Jagan also is closing now. So, it has been decided that, the party is going to stage dharnas at all platforms of tobacco on 14th of this month . If still the Government is not taking care, the party is planning to surround the Tobacco board at Gunture.
