He said, “When Punjab increased the rate of Sugarcane, farmer leaders met the Punjab CM and presented him with sweets. Now, they should meet our chief minister also with sweets.”
“The people who are trying to play politics in the name of farmers should at least once present sweets to our CM (ML Khattar) for increasing the rate of sugarcane, which is now highest in the country,” minister further added on farmers’ agitation in Karnal.
