Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Hyderabad on Saturday for a one-day visit to Telangana, where he is attending a series of key events.
The inauguration of the National Turmeric Board headquarters in Nizamabad marked the highlight of his tour.
BJP workers and local party leaders extended a warm reception to Shah upon his arrival.
Senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare accompanied him on this visit.
The event marks a significant milestone in the Centre’s efforts to promote and support turmeric farmers across India.
Turmeric Board Aims to Empower Farmers
The National Turmeric Board, recently set up by the central government, aims to boost turmeric cultivation, processing, export, and research.
The government expects the board to particularly benefit turmeric-growing states such as Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, where thousands of farmers rely on turmeric as a key crop.
Amit Shah to Interact with Farmers and Stakeholders
During the visit, Amit Shah will interact with turmeric farmers and representatives of farmer organisations, discussing ways to enhance turmeric trade, improve value addition, and increase export potential.
He is also scheduled to address farmers from across Telangana and other states, outlining the government’s vision for agricultural prosperity.
The Home Minister’s presence is being seen as politically significant amid Telangana’s evolving political dynamics.
BJP leaders in the state view this tour as a strategic move to expand the party’s presence, particularly in rural and agrarian communities.
Authorities have deployed tight security arrangements across Hyderabad and Nizamabad to ensure the smooth conduct of the Home Minister’s programmes.
The local administration remains on high alert throughout the visit.
This inauguration not only reflects the government’s focus on agricultural development and farmer welfare but also signals the BJP’s continued efforts to strengthen its political footprint in Telangana.
