"Illegal import of raisins from China, salt on farmers' wounds"; Jayant Patil attacks the government
The illegal import of raisins from China has put grape and currant farmers in Sangli district in trouble. Nationalist Congress Party Sharad Chandra Pawar party leader Jayant Patil has accused the government of being indifferent to this issue. After farmers in Sangli took out a march to the district collector's office to draw attention to this serious issue, Jayant Patil has strongly criticized the government.
Jayant Patil has given his reaction through social media. He said, "I myself had raised this issue before the government in the monsoon session, but no decision was taken on it. This raises the question of whether the government is serious about this issue or not."
'Chinese raisins have ruined farmers' calculations'
This year, there has been a big decline in grape production due to the vagaries of the weather. Due to this, currant production has also decreased compared to last year. Similarly, a large amount of low-quality raisins is being imported from China by evading taxes. This double crisis is causing huge losses to grape growers and the country's foreign exchange reserves, said Patil. Due to these imported raisins, farmers are not getting the expected fair price, which has ruined their financial calculations.
There are a large number of grape growers in Sangli, Nashik, Jalgaon and Satara. Patil demanded that the raisins produced by the government be included in the school nutrition program to protect the interests of these farmers.
Serious allegations against the government
Criticizing the government, Jayant Patil said, "On the one hand, the backs of grape growers have been broken due to unseasonal rains and the government has not provided them any help. On the other hand, this government is rubbing salt in the wounds of the affected farmers by importing raisins from China." This indifferent role of the government has hit the grape growers hard. Therefore, Jayant Patil has also demanded that the government immediately stop the sale of illegally imported raisins and provide justice to the farmers.
