The Shiromani Akali Dal on Thursday accused the ruling Congress government in Punjab of working against the interest of sugarcane farmers in the State.
Party president Sukhbir Singh Badal asked the Amarinder Singh government to immediately announce an enhanced State Advised Price of ₹350 per quintal for sugarcane procurement in Punjab, besides releasing ₹400 crore dues of sugarcane growers.
Mr. Badal alleged that farmers were being driven to suicide due to wrong policies of the Congress government.
