Jalandhar : Senior Congress leader and Kapurthala MLA Rana Gurjeet Singh today asked Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal not to pass on the responsibility of purchasing maize from state farmers to the Centre.

Referring to the Chief Minister’s appeal to the Centre to allow NAFED to purchase maize, he alleged the state was running away from its responsibility. He said states such as Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Bihar purchased maize from their farmers. “Why can’t Punjab do so,” he asked.

The Congress leader said: “Badal should use his good offices to get funds from the Centre and procure maize on his own in the state”.
