BJP alleges ‘procurement conspiracy’, says farmers forced to sell below MSP
Allegations of forced below-MSP sales and official indifference raise concerns about farmer welfare.
N. Ramchander Rao, state BJP president, accused the Congress government of a conspiracy to force farmers to sell their produce below the MSP due to delays in procurement. He claimed that farmers are facing distress sales and hardships at procurement centres, with officials and millers remaining indifferent. The BJP launched a "Farmer's Plight – BJP’s Assurance" tour involving several leaders to inspect centres, highlight farmer struggles, and pressure the government for immediate action. The tour follows reports of farmers waiting days under scorching sun for grain procurement and facing shortages of essential supplies.
