Today, under the aegis of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, in 18 districts of Malwa province, 40% export fee export duty has been imposed by the Ministry of Finance of the Central Government on the export of onions. Farmers from many villages have come down on the road, reached the mandi by tying flags in their vehicles, gathered here and raised slogans against the central government and said that the present central government is anti-farmer.
In which 40% export duty has been imposed on onion exports abroad, which will be effective till December 31. Onion producing farmers are unhappy with this decision, the onion which was currently being sold at ₹ 15 is not being sold even at ₹ 10 today. It is not able to come out and is facing huge loss which has been causing loss to the onion crop for the last 3 years. Grows crops and thinks that by selling good education for children, I will make good arrangements for the family, that in this period waits for 6 months, keeps onions stocked, meanwhile throws away 70% of the spoiled onions. Then the time comes to get two paise if the price increases somewhere.
The current central government has snatched that dream from the hands of the farmers. We want to tell the government that 70% of the farmers in the country, who have been living the life of the poor for many years, are facing the harsh sun and rain, are themselves hungry to fill the country's tree. He keeps on worrying and when the election comes, he forms your government by voting 90%. Now the dam of patience of the farmer has broken. The farmer will not remain silent and the answer to yit is to be given with stone. Your MP, MLA, Minister will have to come to the village for votes. will be surrounded.
Onion market will be closed indefinitely till tomorrow
