DP CORRESPONDENT

Bathinda

Union food processing industries minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday said that the Congress government’s criminal negligence in failing to procure gunny bags had choked all the grain markets in the constituency besides stalling the wheat procurement process and causing untold misery to farmers.

Stating that Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh was alone responsible for the hardships being faced by the farming community, she said farmers had a right to know why their Chief Minister had let them down.

“Raja Sahab you are accountable to the people. You should tell farmers why your government failed to procure gunny bags in advance by placing orders in time. It is condemnable that you are still not paying attention to this problem forget identifying those responsible for this lapse and taking strict action against them”. Stating that Capt Amarinder should lead from the front and address farmer grievances, Badal said this was yet to happen.
