The TRS leader wanted to know the reason behind Congress's silence while her party was "fighting with the Union Government over the Uniform Paddy Procurement Policy." She said, "Why is Congress Party Silent while TRS party was fighting with the Union Government over the Uniform Paddy Procurement Policy, National Status for Irrigation Projects, discrimination in establishing educational institutions, releasing of pending GSTs and grants etc."
