Bengal-Jharkhand potato dispute echoes in Parl; BJP MP for central intervention
The Statesman
|December 04, 2024
The ongoing inter-state dispute over potato supply between West Bengal and Jharkhand reached Parliament on Tuesday.
-
Hazaribagh BJP MP Manish Jaiswal brought up the issue in the Lok Sabha, urging the Union government to intervene in the matter.
Jaiswal emphasised that West Bengal's blockade on potato shipments to Jharkhand has disrupted the staple diet of many and caused a significant rise in the vegetable's prices.
He criticised the move, calling it a violation of interstate trade regulations and a serious matter affecting the poor.
The West Bengal government has banned the supply of potatoes to other states. This has deeply impacted the markets of Jharkhand which depend on West Bengal for at least 60 per cent of potato consumption throughout the year.
