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.

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today demanded immediate resignation of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh as well as his Cabinet colleagues for ordering a “political inquiry” into an unfortunate incident by a handpicked officer whose findings have been termed malicious, irrational and absurd by the High Court.
Addressing a press conference here, SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia said besides the CM, others who had held meetings to frame the chargesheet in the case included Navjot Singh Sidhu, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa and Kushaldeep Dhillon. He said the CM and ministers should put in their papers immediately, but action should be taken against all leaders who politicised the case.
