Poll promises, festivals slow down paddy procurement at MSP in Chhattisgarh
Political expert RS Krishna Das said a similar situation of slow pace of paddy procurement was witnessed during the 2018 polls when Congress had promised Rs 2,500 MSP per quintal of paddy and a loan waiver. This time too farmers are waiting for the election results, he said. However, political parties have not mentioned in their manifestos that higher prices against paddy purchase will be given from which kharif season, he added.
