Later, in the evening, the party will submit a memorandum to the President of India demanding hike in Minimum Support Price (MSP) of paddy for the farmers of Odisha to Rs 2,930 per quintal.

The ruling party of Odisha has also been opposing the alleged negligence by the Centre in materialising the unanimous resolution passed by the Odisha Assembly on the demand of paddy MSP hike.

The party’s senior leaders alleged that the Centre has betrayed the farmers of Odisha with the false assurance to increase the MSP of paddy. Besides, the Prime Minister had no time to discuss the issue with the members of the all-party House Committee of the State Assembly.

They also alleged that the BJP-ruled States are receiving assistance during natural calamity but, the Centre is showing a step-motherly attitude towards Odisha in the time of need.
