These paddy farmers are getting Rs 1,750 per quintal for selling their rice to the government with a bonus of Rs 300, which makes Rs 2,050 the MSP.

Political parties like Congress and Janata Congress Chhattisgarh are highly banking upon the rice farmers of the state to come to the power by forming the government through their promise of giving Rs 2,500 as minimum support price (MSP) on paddy.

The paddy farmers of the Chhattisgarh, the rice bowl of eastern India, are unhappy with the minimum support price (MSP) they are getting presently, and many of the farmers in central Chhattisgarh have stocked up their rice, and are planning to sell it only after the formation of new government. These rice farmers will very much decide which political party will form the new government in the state.

Presently, these paddy farmers are getting Rs 1,750 per quintal for selling their rice to the government with a bonus of Rs 300, which makes Rs 2,050 the MSP.

Dinesh Sahu, 38, a farmer from Dalli Rajharha, says that the MSP farmers are getting presently is not enough to garner profit from it. “Forget profit, the farmers have to pay from their pocket for transportation and other expenses they incur while taking it to the mandi, and at the present MSP they end up incurring loss,” he says. He added that he has stocked up at least 50 quintals of rice in his drawing room, and would sell only on the formation of new government.

“See, I have voted for Congress, and I will wait for them to come to power. Even the Jogi Congress will work for farmers as both of these parties have promised to give Rs 2500 per quintal. There are a few more days until results, and farmers do not want to incur loss this time also,” he says.
