Bharatiya Janata Party Kisan Morcha president Poonam Chandrakar claimed that lakhs of quintal of paddies started germinating at the procurement centres.
The produce of farmers is most valuable product of the state, but due to failure of the administration it has been destroyed, he alleged, adding the hard work that went into its production has been wasted.
The BJP leader said that all the tall claims of the state government and the officials have been exposed and the farmers have been denied their rights of early and faster procurement.
Chandrakar further refuted the government’s claim of better management of stored paddy at the procurement centres and transportation from centres for custom milling.
He claimed that the party has been regularly raising these issues which were being denied on regular basis.
The BJP leader said that if around 27 lak tonnes of paddy had been damaged only in Rajnandgaon then what will be the status of other centres.
He claimed that now the farmers’ of the state feel duped by the state government over the promises made.
He said now the BJP will back the farmers’ agitations across the state to ensure justice to them.
