Haryana agriculture minister JP Dalal's remarks enraged the state arhtiyas (Aadhti) association, which announced a boycott of the minister on Friday and said it will not allow him to enter grain markets.
The decision was made at the state-level arhtiyas association meeting in Karnal. The arhtiyas demanded an apology from the agriculture minister after condemning his alleged remarks.
"We have decided to boycott the agriculture minister, and he will not be allowed to enter any state grain market until he apologizes for calling arhtiyas "looteras" and "bicholiya," said Ashok Gupta, president of the association.
According to the arhtiyas, the government has taken several steps to deteriorate the farmer-arhtiya relationship and is working to depute their handling agents in the mandis. Arhtiyas have stated that they will not allow the government to appoint handling agents, which will take away their jobs.
The association also stated that if the BJP-JJP government does not change its stance, it will run against it in the 2024 elections.
They criticized the government for imposing several conditions on the purchase of mustard, demanding that conditions such as 8% moisture content and 38% oil recovery be lifted immediately. They demanded that the government pay arhtiyas a 2.5% commission instead of 1.25% on mustard purchases by government agencies.
