-- Party’s farmer wing to protest
CM’s visit across State
BHUBANESWAR:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s farmer wing, during its State-level official
meeting here on Thursday, held the State Government responsible for distress
sale of paddy. The Naveen Patnaik-led-Government failed to address the farmer
issues, said the BJP Krushak
Morcha State
president Maheswar Sahu.
Sahu said the farmers of the
State are living in a precarious condition with the pressure of loan as they
could not get right price for their produces which lead them to take extreme
steps. The distress sale of paddy added salt in their wound, he added.
“There is no certain agriculture
policy to look after the interest of the poor farmers. Failure of the State
Government created frustration among them,” said Sahu, adding, “If the State
Government fails to solve the problems of the farmers, the Morcha members will
oppose the visit of Chief Minister across the State.”
Among others, Morcha general
secretary Rama Chandra Patra, vice-president Rabi Narayan Mohapatra and Lala
Ashok Kumar Ray, State secretary Ajay Kumar Pradhan, Manoj Sahu and Samir Sahu
were present.
