Members of the BJP led by president of State BJP
Kisan Morcha Sibaji Mohanty and district BJP Krushak Morcha president Rajkumar
Panigrahi on Monday staged a demonstration before the district Collectorate
here protesting against the alleged anti-farmer policy of the Naveen
Patnaik-led BJD Government.
The speakers criticised the anti-farmer policy of
the State Government
and demanded remedial measures for improvement of
farmers. Later, they submitted a five-point charter of demands to the Governor
through the district Collector.
The memorandum included demands of withdrawal of
the 20th crop insurance premium announced by the State Government for Kharif 2015
and proper assessment of crop loss in the year.
The paddy procurement policy announced by the
Government for Kharif 2016 has reduced six quintals from the farmers card,
forcing the farmer’s to go for distress sale, the Morcha alleged.
Besides, they demanded conversion of the 44lakh
Kisan credit card to Rupaye card and to provide ATM facility to the farmers
that the Government had decided in 2012 - 13. But till today it has not been
done even though the Centre has given assistance for it.
Even as parts of Patnagarh sub-division suffered
more than 70 per cent crop loss, inadequate crop damage compensation has been
announced for them, the Morcha alleged .
