The opposition on Tuesday accused the government of corruption and exploitation of farmers in the paddy procurement process, claiming that farmers are forced to sell their paddy at reduced weights due to threats over quality.

Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra denied the allegations and stated that strict actions have been taken against those involved in irregularities.

The Minister mentioned the dismissal of a personal secretary found to be involved in corruption.

Actions taken include suspension of six paddy procurement officers, dismissal of three employees, seizure of eight vehicles carrying paddy, and blacklisting of 26 mill owners.

The government has assured strict measures to streamline the paddy procurement process and address the issues faced by farmers.

Congress MLAs have criticized the government for failing to protect farmers and demanded an investigation into the allegations.

BJD MLAs defended the government’s efforts and highlighted measures taken to ensure fair practices in paddy procurement.

BJP MLAs claimed that the opposition has no substantial issues and that farmers are receiving their dues.

Overall, the government is taking steps to improve the paddy procurement process and address the allegations of corruption and exploitation.
