According to sources andhra pradesh is the only state which is supplying onions at a subsidized price of Rs 25 while the price is much higher even in states that have intervention. In the neighbouring telangana subsidised onion is available only in one Rythu Bazaar and the rate is Rs 45 per kg, while in other states the price is much higher. Meanwhile onions are sold in bihar at Rs 35 per kg, in West bengal (Rs 59), tamilnadu (Rs 49), and madhya pradesh (Rs 50).
Furthermore no state has done the intervention and procured onions from open market to supply at subsidised price and we are doing it in 101 Rythu Bazaar outlets and we will continue to supply subsidised onions till the market stabilises. Till now the state has supplied 38,496 quintals of onions and apparently from friday onwards, onions would be supplied from market yards as well. Furthermore the Opposition tdp is trying to politicise the issue and it is sold in the Heritage Foods, owned by family members of chandrababu naidu at Rs 200 per kg and of the total quantity of onions the Centre would be importing, the highest indent of 2,100 quintals is from the State and the first tranche would be coming soon.
Moreover before that, the video clipping of the comments of the kin of the deceased was shown in the house which said that the person who died in gudivada Rythu Bazaar did not go for buying onions and a section of media has insisted that they vouch for such statement for which they would get exgratia.
