CHANDIGARH: The opposition parties targeted the BJP-JJP government on the issue of crop damage and compensation, in the Haryana assembly on Wednesday.
While deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala and agriculture and farmers welfare minister Jai Parkash Dalal claimed the compensation worth crores of rupees has been given to farmers for the damaged crop after a special girdawari (inspection of crop damage by revenue staff) in the affected area, opposition leaders — CLP leader Kiran Choudhary, INLD MLA Abhay Chautala, Congress MLAs Jagbir Malik, Induraj Narwal and deputy leader of opposition Aftab Ahmed and MLA Varun Chaudhary — termed the survey as inadequate.
