The Haryana Congress has taken a proactive step in support of farmers by planning visits to 'mandis' across the state. This initiative is aimed at understanding the difficulties farmers face in wheat and mustard procurement processes.

During a recent Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting in Delhi, chaired by former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, key issues affecting the state were deliberated. The party has also decided to challenge election irregularities concerning the Rajya Sabha polls.

The Congress has raised concerns about the government's new procurement rules mandating biometric verification, which could delay processes and impose financial burdens on farmers. Congress has criticized these practices, suggesting they contribute to the hardships experienced by Haryana's agrarian community.
