Failure of the State Government in purchasing paddy on increased support price have irked farmers while inability of Kiwar company in maintaining sanitation in Raipur city has peeved urban people, State Congress General Secretary, Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said in a statement here on Sunday.
last year, the State Government had started paddy procurement from the month of October 21 before the Assembly polls while this year paddy procurement will commence from December 1, he said.
