AAP in India urge government to help affected potato growers
"Potato growers of Punjab were on the receiving end of the callous attitude of the SAD-BJP government which ruled for 10 years but totally ignored their interests," he said.
"The Punjab Mandi Board failed to come up with a marketing strategy to help the farmers when there was a good harvest. Also, there was no mechanism in place to compensate the potato growers," he said.
The AAP in its manifesto has assured the farmers that "the best marketing system" will be provided to them and full compensation will be paid for crop loss.
