Former Chief Minister has criticized the Karnataka government over the delay in maize procurement, alleging that the slow process has caused hardship for farmers across several districts 🌽⏳. He said that despite a good harvest this season, farmers are struggling to sell their produce at minimum support prices due to administrative inefficiency ⚠️.
Addressing the media, the former CM accused the state government of failing to implement timely procurement mechanisms and demanded immediate intervention to protect farmers from financial losses 🚜. He warned that continued delays could force farmers to sell maize to private traders at lower rates.
The state government, however, maintained that procurement arrangements are underway and assured farmers that necessary steps are being taken to resolve the issue at the earliest.
