MLC Kavitha Reacts to Turmeric Board Announcement in Nizamabad
MLC Kavitha has shared mixed feelings about the recent establishment of the Turmeric Board in Nizamabad. While she welcomed the creation of the board, she strongly criticized the way its office was inaugurated. Kavitha called it “regrettable” that key stakeholders were excluded from the event.
Speaking to the media, Kavitha expressed her disappointment, saying, “We initiated the fight for the Turmeric Board, yet we were not invited to its inauguration. This is disheartening.” She also took the opportunity to criticize BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri, accusing him of making baseless and irrelevant statements.
Kavitha highlighted the efforts made by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government in supporting farmers. She pointed out that it was during the BRS regime that the Spices Board had been established. According to her, a well-rounded, three-pronged strategy is necessary to genuinely support turmeric farmers and improve their livelihoods.
The MLC also emphasized the importance of setting a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for turmeric crops. She stressed that such measures are critical to ensuring better incomes for farmers and addressing their concerns effectively.
Kavitha reaffirmed her commitment to the welfare of turmeric farmers in the region. Her remarks reflect the ongoing political debates surrounding the Turmeric Board and its impact on the farming community in Nizamabad.
