Himachal farmers promoting apples at one-third charges, after Adani Group’s procurement value: Priyanka

Citing stories, she claimed that after the Adani Group launched the procurement value for the fruit within the hill state, apple packing containers are being bought at one-third of the sooner value.

NEW DELHI: Congress common secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday alleged that apple packing containers in calamity-hit Himachal Pradesh are being bought at one-third charges after the Adani Group launched the procurement value, and requested why the prime minister shouldn’t be doing something for them.

“In this difficult period of calamity where the orchardists of Himachal Pradesh were already facing a mountain of troubles, why is Prime Minister’s friend Adani adding to their troubles,” she alleged.

Citing stories, she claimed that after the Adani Group launched the procurement value for the fruit within the hill state, apple packing containers are being bought at one-third of the sooner value.

“It is shameful to do this during a disaster. Where the farmers and horticulturists of Himachal need help, they are being destroyed,” she mentioned.

“Why is the Prime Minister not doing anything to stop this loot?” Priyanka requested.

No fast response was obtainable from the Adani Group to the allegations.

Himachal Pradesh was pounded by heavy rains and landslides final month, abandoning a path of destruction.

आपदा के इस कठिन दौर में जहाँ हिमाचल प्रदेश के बाग़बानों पर पहले से ही परेशानियों का पहाड़ टूट रहा था, प्रधानमंत्री जी के मित्र अडानी उनकी परेशानियों को क्यों बढ़ा रहे हैं?

खबरों के मुताबिक़ अडानी के दाम जारी करने के बाद सेब की पेटियाँ पहले से एक तिहाई दाम में बिक रही हैं।

आपदा…
