The Chhattisgarh BJP on Sunday demanded a white paper on paddy procurement from the Congress government and said the issue will be raised in the monsoon session of the state Assembly.
Addressing a press conference here, BJP leaders presented a video of Food and Civil Supplies Minister Amarjeet Bhagat as saying that the state government had paid Rs 11,148 crore for paddy while the Centre had paid Rs 51,563 crore.
BJP state general secretary O.P. Choudhary also presented year-wise monetary allocations by the Centre for paddy procurement.
Paddy procurement in Chhattisgarh was possible only with the support of the Central government, Choudhary said.
