BJP MLA Subash Chandra Panigrahi alleged the federal government has didn’t resolve farmers’ points.
A BJP legislator on Friday tried suicide by consuming sanitiser in the Odisha Assembly over paddy procurement points in the state.
Subash Chandra Panigrahi, an MLA from Deogarh constituency, tried to devour sanitiser as a mark of protest when Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Ranendra Pratap Swain was replying to the House on the paddy procurement points.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Bikram Keshari Arukha and different legislators managed to stop Panigrahi from consuming sanitiser and recovered the poisonous materials from him.
“I tried to consume sanitiser as the state government left me with no option. Even though the farmers’ issue was raised in the House time and again, the state government did not pay heed to the plight of the farmers,” Panigrahi instructed mediapersons.

Panigrahi alleged the federal government has didn’t resolve farmers’ points like mismanagement at mandis and token system.
Earlier in the morning, the BJP MLA had threatened to commit suicide to mount strain on the state authorities.
During the primary section of the finances session, he had staged a protest in the House and in addition threatened to self-immolate if all paddy is just not procured from the farmers on the earliest.
