&lt;em&gt;Congress&amp;rsquo; Ahmed Patel says Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers&amp;rsquo; Rights Authority should have intervened&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With protests coming from all ends of the political spectrum, the Gujarat government has decided to back four potato farmers in their fight against PepsiCo&amp;rsquo;s Rs. 4.2 crore lawsuit against them for allegedly infringing its rights by growing the potato used in Lays chips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;State will join&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A senior official told The Hindu that the State government will join the ongoing legal case on the side of the farmers, just hours after senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel slammed PepsiCo and said the State &amp;ldquo;shouldn&amp;rsquo;t keep its eyes shut&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We will be joining in the matter as a party to support farmers,&amp;rdquo; a top government official said, refusing to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He added that the decision to support farmers in the matter was taken at the highest level in order to protect the interests of the farmers. Gujarat produces 33 lakh tonnes from its 1.21 lakh hectares planted with the potato crop, with Banaskantha recently pipping Uttar Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s Agra to become the country&amp;rsquo;s largest potato producing district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senior Congress leader from Gujarat Ahmed Patel said it was a &amp;ldquo;wake-up call&amp;rdquo; for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government. &amp;ldquo;Why have they been sleeping for so long when an MNC is taking our farmers to court? The Centre is yet to take any action, the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers&amp;rsquo; Rights Authority should have intervened,&amp;rdquo; he told The Hindu, adding that this case could have widespread implications for other farmers across the country.&lt;br /&gt;

With protests coming from all ends of the political spectrum, the Gujarat government has decided to back four potato farmers in their fight against PepsiCo&amp;rsquo;s Rs. 4.2 crore lawsuit against them for allegedly infringing its rights by growing the potato used in Lays chips.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With protests coming from all ends of the political spectrum, the Gujarat government has decided to back four potato farmers in their fight against PepsiCo&amp;rsquo;s Rs. 4.2 crore lawsuit against them for allegedly infringing its rights by growing the potato used in Lays chips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;State will join&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A senior official told The Hindu that the State government will join the ongoing legal case on the side of the farmers, just hours after senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel slammed PepsiCo and said the State &amp;ldquo;shouldn&amp;rsquo;t keep its eyes shut&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We will be joining in the matter as a party to support farmers,&amp;rdquo; a top government official said, refusing to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Congress&amp;rsquo; Ahmed Patel says Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers&amp;rsquo; Rights Authority should have intervened&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With protests coming from all ends of the political spectrum, the Gujarat government has decided to back four potato farmers in their fight against PepsiCo&amp;rsquo;s Rs. 4.2 crore lawsuit against them for allegedly infringing its rights by growing the potato used in Lays chips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;State will join&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A senior official told The Hindu that the State government will join the ongoing legal case on the side of the farmers, just hours after senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel slammed PepsiCo and said the State &amp;ldquo;shouldn&amp;rsquo;t keep its eyes shut&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We will be joining in the matter as a party to support farmers,&amp;rdquo; a top government official said, refusing to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He added that the decision to support farmers in the matter was taken at the highest level in order to protect the interests of the farmers. Gujarat produces 33 lakh tonnes from its 1.21 lakh hectares planted with the potato crop, with Banaskantha recently pipping Uttar Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s Agra to become the country&amp;rsquo;s largest potato producing district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senior Congress leader from Gujarat Ahmed Patel said it was a &amp;ldquo;wake-up call&amp;rdquo; for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government. &amp;ldquo;Why have they been sleeping for so long when an MNC is taking our farmers to court? The Centre is yet to take any action, the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers&amp;rsquo; Rights Authority should have intervened,&amp;rdquo; he told The Hindu, adding that this case could have widespread implications for other farmers across the country.&lt;br /&gt;

Gujarat govt. to back potato farmers in PepsiCo fight -Priscilla Jebaraj

-The Hindu Congress’ Ahmed Patel says Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority should have intervened With protests coming from all ends of the political spectrum, the Gujarat government has decided to back four potato farmers in their fight against PepsiCo’s Rs. 4.2 crore lawsuit against them for allegedly infringing its rights by growing the potato used in Lays chips. State will join A senior official told The Hindu that the State government will join the ongoing legal case on the side of the farmers, just hours after senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel slammed PepsiCo and said the State “shouldn’t keep its eyes shut”. “We will be joining in the matter as a party to support farmers,” a top government official said, refusing to be identified. He added that the decision to support farmers in the matter was taken at the highest level in order to protect the interests of the farmers. Gujarat produces 33 lakh tonnes from its 1.21 lakh hectares planted with the potato crop, with Banaskantha recently pipping Uttar Pradesh’s Agra to become the country’s largest potato producing district. Senior Congress leader from Gujarat Ahmed Patel said it was a “wake-up call” for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government. “Why have they been sleeping for so long when an MNC is taking our farmers to court? The Centre is yet to take any action, the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority should have intervened,” he told The Hindu, adding that this case could have widespread implications for other farmers across the country.
