Chhattisgarh's Paddy Surplus Sparks Political Showdown

The opposition Congress in Chhattisgarh criticized the state government's plan to sell surplus paddy in the open market, fearing an Rs 8,000 crore loss to the state exchequer. They sought a legislative discussion, which was denied, leading to a protest and temporary suspension of Congress legislators.

The spotlight has turned on Chhattisgarh's agricultural policy as the opposition Congress voiced concerns over the state government's decision to sell surplus paddy in the open market.

Critics argue this could result in a substantial Rs 8,000 crore loss, calling for this critical issue to be debated in the state legislature.

However, after the state Food Minister presented the government's defense, Congress legislators staged a protest, resulting in their suspension, which was later revoked.
