Said, BJP tries to find new ways to bring Punjab to its knees
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, October 29-
The AAP once again attacked the BJP and the central govt over the issues related to the purchase and lifting of paddy. AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang stated that it is the routine procedure of the Food Supply Ministry of the Government of India for the FCI to lift old grains from its warehouses before the arrival of new grains in the mandis (markets) each year, so that there is space available for grain shifting. This process has been in place for decades, not just for a year or two.
Addressing the media along with AAP leaders Jagdeep Singh Kaka Brar and Shaminder Khinda at the party office in Chandigarh on Tuesday, Kang said that this time the central government intentionally did not empty the warehouses to trouble the farmers of Punjab. Now, as the controversy has escalated and the central government finds itself in a difficult position, it is misleading the people of Punjab through its minister Ravneet Bittu. The BJP has deliberately created this issue.
