Bhubaneswar, millions of farmers in Odisha are sitting on the highway holding paddy. The state government does not collect farmers' paddy. The central government pays crores of rupees to various RMCs, faxes, lamps while providing adequate funds for infrastructure, drinking water, rice husks, ropes and round-trip expenses in the paddy mandis. This money is not cultivated. BJP state president Sameer Mohanty has demanded that the state government clarify who is pocketing it.
"Farmers are crying in various mandis in the state today," Mohanty told a news conference at the state office. Today, farmers in Odisha are asking who is buying paddy in Odisha? Supply department or miller? The government did not show up. Profitable millers are exploiting farmers by breaking all the rules of buying rice. Is this the case with the government? The Prime Minister is offering a minimum support price of Rs 1868 per quintal. Who is cutting this money out of the farmer’s stomach? Mr. Mohanty questioned who was ordering and agreeing to Katni-Chatni in Mandi.
The dishonest miller and the state government’s honeymoon are making farmers cry. The state government should first be up at night to understand the farmers lying in the mandi and pick up all the paddy. The BJP is protesting on the highways over the demands of the farmers. The ruling BJP also says all the paddy has gone up. However, why did the farmers of Jhalabuha harvest not grow all the basic resources of the farmers of Odisha? That's why farmers are crying. The government is listening to the farmers' cries or pretending not to listen. In Sambalpur, a 72-hour thorn in the side of the BJP-led peasant movement was imposed. "If the state government does not immediately announce and make arrangements to buy paddy from the mandi, the BJP will announce its outline by this afternoon," he said.
Mr. Mohanty asked the state government five questions.
1. The blackout plan was launched before the election. The chief minister said the plan would not be stopped until he was alive. How many farmers are covered under the black scheme?
The first installment was paid for, and how far has that number gone?
2. The government has provided the Kalia Yojana expenditure from the Contingency Fund for the benefit of the farmers. Will the government make arrangements to buy money from the rice contingency fund of the farmers who are now in the mandi?
3. In the first installment of the Prime Minister's Farmers Fund, 3.6 million farmers in the state benefited from the 9th installment. Modi has made arrangements to give money to Oriya farmers. But why is the number of farmers in the state government now less than a quarter? Why is it hard for the state government to give money to Oriya farmers?
àª. The state government has promised a minimum of 35 per cent irrigation per block in the state. Why has the government failed?
5. The failure of the potato onion mission and the failure of family farming in the state has led to major problems in cold storage. Why is the number of cold stores in the state still limited to the number of cold stores in the state in 2000? Why is the promise of cold storage in every block soaked in water? Mr Mohanty called on the government to keep the answer to the people of the state on the basis of the truth and facts and said that it would be clear from the government's reply how much the five-term government was against the interests of the farmers.
