Farmers demand minimum support price for turmeric and setting up of turmeric board at Nizamabad
Bharatiya Janata Party MP of Nizamabad D. Arvind had to face the wrath of turmeric farmers at Choutpalli village of Kammarpalli mandal in Nizamabad district on Sunday when he held an interactive meeting with them over the demand of minimum support price for turmeric and setting up of turmeric board at Nizamabad.
The meeting ended abruptly after four hours of heated arguments, with the MP walking away in a huff as the farmers resorted to slogan shouting against him. Present on the occasion were about 200 farmers who had contested the last Lok Sabha elections from Nizamabad to highlight their demands at the national level. After the meeting, the farmers’ leaders served an ultimatum on the MP either to resign from his post or ensure MSP for turmeric within ten days. Otherwise, they will confront him at all public fora with the support of all parties.
