Chandigarh, March 4
Days after upping his ante against his own government over alleged squandering of public money my mafias, former Cabinet Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday again cornered the ruling party on the need to bring new legislations to ensure minimum support price on oilseeds and lentils to encourage farmers to get out of the wheat-rice cycle that get MSP from the Centre.
Avoiding replies on his recent statement questioning performance of his own government, Sidhu, addressing the media almost two years after he resigned from the Cabinet, said he had come to talk only on the central agriculture laws and the ways to bail out farmers of the farm crisis.
Asked why such laws were not being brought by his own government, he said he would raise the issue in the CLP meeting whenever it was called. He said he could talk remaining within the party decorum.
