The Congress requested Governor Shekhar Dutt to instruct the government to start paddy procurement from November 1 instead of November 15. In this regard, the Congress leaders handed over a memorandum to the Governor on Monday. The Congress leaders said the Raman Singh government should have started paddy procurement from October 15 considering Diwali festival in the end of the month. “But since the government has always deceived the farmers, it took the decision to extend the date with an aim to benefit the middlemen,” they alleged.
