The farmers are also demanding free electricity for irrigation and grants for borewells, tubewells, ponds and tanks, as promised by BJP during the last Assembly election.

Lucknow: Sugarcane farmers of Kaptanganj sugar mill, in Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and surrounding villages have been protesting outside the tehsil under the banner of multiple unions demanding payment of around Rs 44 crore due for the ongoing crushing season for almost two weeks.

The farmers are also demanding free electricity for irrigation and grants for borewells, tube wells, ponds and tanks as promised by the Yogi Adityanath-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government during the last Assembly election. 

“The state government has paid no attention to our plight. We have been staging a protest for nearly two weeks but to no avail. The mill didn’t follow the government regulation of paying dues within two weeks,” Rajesh Singh, a protesting farmer, told Newsclick.

The farmers said that they will not let the sugar mill operate until the dues are cleared. 

“The farmers don’t even have money to buy inputs to grow crops, buy medicines or pay school fees of their children. Where are we supposed to go? The government had promised that the dues would be paid within 15 days of selling our produce to the mills,” Ramchandra Singh, who heads the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), Ambawata, told Newsclick.
