BHUBANESWAR: Dubbing the NDA government on the Centre as anti-farmer, the BJD on Thursday introduced a 10-day protest plan in 12 western and southern districts from January 8.
Addressing a news conference right here on the birthday celebration headquarters, BJD basic secretary Sanjay Das Burma lashed out on the Centre as Union minister of state for agriculture Gajendra Singh Sekhawat had informed the parliament on December 29 that there is no proposal now to revise the minimal fortify value (MSP) on paddy.
"The reply has exposed the anti-farmer attitude of the Centre. We condemn the statement of the Union ministers in the parliament. BJD would stage protest against it in 10 highest rice-producing districts," Das Burma stated.
The ruling birthday celebration would stage protest in all blocks of Bargarh, Balangir, Boudh, Deogarh, Kalahandi, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangapur, Nuapada, Rayagada, Sambalpur and Sonepur in more than a few stages, Das Burma informed.
The Centre has fixed the MSP for paddy (not unusual variety) at Rs 1550 in keeping with quintal for 2017-18. The Union minister had argued that a farmer features benefit of Rs 433 with the MSP at Rs 1550 as the price of manufacturing, in step with the Centre is, Rs 1117 in keeping with quintal.
Demanding to extend the MSP to Rs 2930 in keeping with quintal, Das Burma also slammed Sekhawat for making any such commentary at a time when an meeting panel has made up our minds to absorb the MSP factor with President Ram Nath Kovind.
Criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for no longer giving time to a space committee to speak about the MSP factor, the state meeting had passed a unanimous answer to fulfill the President of India over the problem.
The ruling birthday celebration had staged dharna outside Raj Bhavan hard build up in the paddy MSP in November. Chief minister Naveen Patnaik had also taken up the problem on the inter-state council meet in New Delhi on November 25.
Das Burma also criticized Sekhawat for no longer responding to state's call for for Rs 1729 crore to toughen agriculture research infrastructure in Odisha. The state government had submitted the memorandum to Sekhawat, who visited Odisha on November 12 to evaluate the crop loss state of affairs due to pest assault.
As Odisha did not determine among the listing of states affected by failures, in step with a up to date reply of Union minister of state for home affairs, Das Burma stated it was unfortunate that Centre has overlooked Odisha in spite of it has affected by series of failures like drought, pest assault and premature rain.
Rubbishing the fees, BJP spokesperson Sajjan Sharma accused the ruling birthday celebration of looking to mislead the people on farmers' factor. "The state has not submitted any memorandum seeking assistance from national disaster response fund. Seeking agriculture assistance is a separate issue. The BJD should refrain from confusing people," Sharma stated.
