यूपी में गन्ना किसानों का 10 हजार करोड़ रुपया बकाया है तो किसान कैसे खुश व खुशहाल होंगे? ये सोचने-समझने की बात है। किसान-विरोधी व धन्नासेठ-समर्थक बीजेपी सरकार गलत दावे न करे। बीएसपी सरकार की तरह मिल मालिकों पर सख्ती करके बीजेपी किसानों के सभी बकाया क्यों नहीं अदा करवा रही है?

She had also shared a media report on Twitter that claimed the dues of sugarcane farmers had crossed Rs 10,000 crore in the state. (PTI)
