Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal has began a three-day demonstration against the Center for discontinuing the supply of additional food grains under the PMGKAY scheme. Senior party leaders along with workers and common men today sat on a Dharana in front of the Raj Bhaban. The Party will submit a memorandum to the President of India through the Governor. From tomorrow, the party will organize protest meetings across the state. The Biju Janata Dal has said that the economic condition of the poor people has worsened due to the pandemic and the reduction in food grains is going to affect about 3.25 crore people of Odisha.
Reduction of Rs 20,000 crore by Center in allocation for purchase of paddy will negatively affect the farmers of the state. The Center has also reduced the procurement of parboiled rise from the state from 18 lakh tonnes to only 4 lakh tonnes which is going to hit the farmers of the state badly.
