Gurnam Singh Charuni, former president, BKU, said it was unfortunate that the BJP had ignored its election promise of implementingthe Swaminathan Committee report. He said the state government had announced to purchase 20,000 tonnes of sunflower seeds last year, but only 96,000 tonnes were procured. Charuni alleged the state government was insensitive towards the demands of the farmers.
