The former Union agriculture minister said while the sugar price had increased, the sugar cane-producing farmers did not benefit from it. the opposition questioned the GDP numbers While the central govt hailed India’s economic progress. “The Prime Minister and finance minister are not focusing on the real issues and are busy in portraying a beautiful picture of the Indian economy. Pawar claimed that the Indian economy was going through a tough phase and the common man would face the brunt of it. “The rate of sugar has increased, but the production cost of it also has risen. The sugar cane producer should get some share of the increased sugar price, but at present it is not happening,” Pawar added.
