Nitin Namdev, Raipur. Before the upcoming elections in Chhattisgarh, politics has intensified on the support price in paddy purchase. The opposition’s Congress party and the ruling BJP are engaged in winning the trust of the people. Former CM Bhupesh Baghel said during the election campaign today that farmers are getting a support price of Rs 3100 due to Congress.
He said that farmers should get respect for hard work. Bhupesh government gave farmers 2850 support price. If the farmers are now getting 31 hundred support price, then it is getting due to the Congress government. But if the Congress government was formed, farmers would have got a support price of Rs 3217.
What will Congress credit take: Deputy CM Arun Saw
At the same time, Deputy CM Arun Saw has retaliated his statement. He said that Bhupesh Baghel does not remember the time before 2003. Paddy of farmers was rejected. The order of paddy purchase has come in the BJP government. The BJP started giving additional amount to farmers with support. The Congress lied for 5 years on everything. What will Congress credit take? The Congress should take credit for scams during the Congress tenure.
