Chandigarh: Punjab Youth Congress president Mohit Mohindra Tuesday accused CM Bhagwant Mann and the Centre of conspiring to destabilise Punjab’s agricultural sector to benefit corporate interests. Mohindra alleged that the ongoing paddy crisis was engineered to enable corporate penetration into the state’s agriculture sector. He said farmers in Punjab had earlier thwarted the Centre’s attempt to implement three contentious farm laws, which would have opened the market to corporate control. “Mann has a close liaison with Amit Shah and MoS (railways) Ravneet Singh Bittu, whom Shah had handpicked,” he said.
