Govt. criticised
Issuing a press statement at Chandigarh to this effect, Mr. Chautala said that it was “painful” and “condemnable” the way the farmers were being snubbed by the Bharatiya Janata Party government. He alleged that the Manohar Lal government robbed the farmers on the pretext of high moisture levels in crops and the Minimum Support Price.
