AAP vs Opposition Over Paddy Procurement In Punjab
The paddy procurement process in Punjab has been marred by significant delays and alleged mismanagement this year. Despite favourable weather conditions, the pace of harvesting has slowed down due to almost 90% of the procured crop being stuck in mandis (state-run agricultural markets), and private rice millers refusing to store government paddy. The situation has led to the opposition attacking the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab.
