AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday, March 31, 2024 accused the ruling DMK of neglecting farmers and not fulfilling many of its assurances for the farm sector in the last three years.
Addressing a meeting of farmers in Chidambaram, Mr. Palaniswami said the government had not fulfilled its assurances of procuring sugar cane at ₹4,000 a tonne and paddy at ₹2,500 a quintal. The government had also failed to provide compensation to farmers under the crop insurance scheme.
