💨 Abstract

The BJD in Odisha has demanded that the state government waive farm loans and purchase all paddy, regardless of quality, due to extensive crop damage from unseasonal rainfall. The call came after a 64-year-old farmer's suicide due to crop loss and debt in the Ganjam district. The party has also asked for compensation for the farmer's family and wrote off farm loans to prevent further suicides.
