Opposition should refrain from politics: Manmohan Samal

Bhubaneswar: State BJP president Manmohan Samal on Thursday urged the opposition to desist from engaging in political maneuvers concerning paddy procurement issues. Addressing a press conference, Samal emphasized the need for collaborative efforts to address the challenges faced by farmers, rather than resorting to blame games. He highlighted that the focus should be on ensuring fair procurement processes and timely payments to support the agricultural community. Samal pointed out that politicizing the matter could divert attention from the real issues affecting the farmers' livelihoods. He called for constructive dialogue between political parties to find sustainable solutions that benefit the farming sector. According to Samal, prioritizing the welfare of farmers over political gains would lead to more effective policy-making and implementation at the state level. The BJP leader also reiterated the party's commitment to working with all stakeholders to enhance agricultural productivity and secure better market access for farmers. He urged the opposition to join hands in facilitating transparent and efficient procurement systems. By doing so, Samal believes that the state can ensure the well-being of its farmers and strengthen the agricultural economy without unnecessary political distractions.
