Bhubaneswar: The politics between the BJD and the BJP over the central government’s agriculture bill is ridiculous. The BJP was seen protesting in the Rajya Sabha with support in the Lok Sabha. If the BJP says the central government is attacking the CBI for political motives, why hasn’t millions of chit funds in the state of Helani been recovered in the last four years? It seems that both the parties are doing politics in Odisha like ‘Kavi Khushi, Kavi Ghamh’. In a press statement issued today, PCC president Niranjan Patnaik targeted the BJD and the BJP. The BJD, on the other hand, in response to the PCC president, said the BJD had opposed both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha over the interests of small and marginal farmers. Similarly, the BJP said, the party has always maintained a distance from the Biju Janata Dal.
PCC president Shri Patnaik said the state government had set up and dissolved the chit fund commission. About 700,000 applications were received by the commission. No decision was made on that. While the BJP has said that the CBI is being attacked to discredit the BJP in the run-up to the by-elections, why has the CBI delayed it for six to seven years if it is supposed to take action? But despite protests, the central government hastily passed it in parliament. The bottom line is that India has the biggest difference between the sales price of farm produce and the price of khauti. In the West, the difference is 10% to 30%, while in our country the difference is more than 40%. About 80% to 80% of small and marginal farmers in India. These farmers will be affected by the central government’s new bill. It will only benefit the big business. The country’s economy was expected to be boosted by GST and deregulation. But the general public and farmers were harassed. The countrymen are just being deceived by the speeches. Mr Patnaik alleged that both the state and central governments believed in promises, deceptions and propaganda.
