The Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee (CPCC) has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of practicing double standards when it comes to paddy procurement and farm loan waivers. CPCC Communication Department Chief Sushil Anand Shukla has alleged that BJP leaders are taking advantage of the Congress government's paddy procurement scheme, while simultaneously raising objections to the loan waivers for farmers.
Shukla has criticized the BJP for its 'paddy scam', pointing out that while the party benefits from purchasing paddy at ₹2500 under the Congress party's paddy procurement scheme, it continues to criticize loan waivers for farmers. He has further drawn attention to the fact that during the previous loan waiver scheme, more than 2000 BJP leaders, including former Chief Minister Dr. Raman Singh and Dharamlal Kaushik, had availed themselves of the benefits.
In response to the BJP's claims, Shukla has defended the Congress's decision to waive farm loans, especially during the pandemic when the nation was facing an economic crisis. He has asserted that while the BJP is silent on loan waivers for industrialists, it actively questions the Congress when it comes to waiving loans of farmers.
Shukla has reiterated that the primary beneficiaries of Chhattisgarh's resources are the state's farmers and that the Congress party is committed to this cause. He has reassured that the Congress government will provide fair prices to farmers for their produce, waive their loans, and support them through the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana. The government also pledges to purchase every grain of paddy from farmers, thus contributing to the overall prosperity in the state.
