Just before the upcoming festive season, politics has heated up in the country regarding the price of sugar and its availability. National President of Congress Party Mallikarjun Kharge In a sharp attack on the policies of the Central Government, he has claimed that the sugar stock in the country has reached the lowest level in the last 9 years, due to which there has been a huge jump in prices in the last few months.
Congress President’s three sharp questions to Modi government
While sharing the post on social media platform X, Mallikarjun Kharge has directly asked three big questions to the Modi government:
-
Situation of decreasing stocks and imports: Why has sugar stock in India, the world’s largest sugar producer and exporter, reached its lowest level in 9 years today? Why did the government have to take steps like stopping exports and importing 10 lakh tonnes of sugar duty-free?
-
Effect of inflation: Sugar prices have increased by about 40 percent in the last few months. Who is ultimately responsible for this inflationary blow on the pockets of the common people just before the festive season?
-
Why not review the E20 ethanol policy: When there is a domestic crisis of sugar in the country and the government has to import it from abroad, then why is the current policy of converting sugarcane and grains into ethanol under the E20 policy not being reviewed?
Questions raised on claims of ‘self-reliant India’
Taking a dig at the government’s slogan of ‘self-reliant India’, Kharge said that on one hand the production of sugar in the country is continuously decreasing and the stock is at a record low, while on the other hand sugar has to be imported from abroad. Taking a dig at the policies of the government, he said that on one hand, farmers’ sugarcane is being converted into ethanol to be mixed with petrol, and on the other hand, sweetness is disappearing in the domestic market, due to which the budget of the common man is getting spoiled.
