The sugarcane farmers are demanding a rate of Rs 450 per quintal. The government should at least give the farmers of Haryana the same rate as that of Punjab: Rattan Mann, President, Bhartiya Kisan Union, Haryana.

He said that meeting with the Government with issue has been failed. We will continue demanding hike in sugarcane prices. Supporting the demands of the sugarcane farmers, once again the former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda reiterated that the government should accept their demand.

“The farmers are demanding a rate of Rs 450 per quintal. The government should at least give the farmers of Haryana the same rate as that of Punjab,” he said and added that during the Congress government, there was a record increase of 165% in the rate of sugarcane, while during the BJP regime it was increased by only 17%. BJP and JJP stand nowhere in front of Congress in the matter of increasing the rate of sugarcane.
