Farmer Unions Protest Fertiliser Price Hike
Price hike before Kharif season will add to farmers’ woes as they use DAP as a primary fertiliser during sowing of crops like paddy, cotton, groundnut, etc. Jayanta Bhattacharya May 19, 2021
Farmer unions across the spectrum accused the Centre of adding to the burden of farmers by “allowing manufacturers” hike prices of key fertilisers.
The Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) has demanded that there should be no revision in fertilisers prices and that these be sold at old rates with immediate effect.
BKS is affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and prefers to call itself an apolitical organisation.
