Bhopal: Bhavantar Yojana is a Loot Yojana, said Congress party MLA Jeetu Patwari while talking to mediapersons here on Sunday. Responding to a query on Bhavantar scheme, he said that when Bhavantar scheme was in force, the cost of soybean was around Rs 2000 per quintal and as soon as the scheme time ended, the rate increased to Rs 3500 per quintal. “The farmers who had sold the soybean under the scheme suffered loss of Rs 2000 per quintal,” he said.

Responding to another query, he said that nobody knows who killed six farmers in Mandsaur or who ordered to open fire. He said that the commission instituted to investigate Mandsaur killings has not submitted report.

He recalled that chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had observed fast after Mandsaur incident. He had declared that the deceased will get the compensation of Rs 1 crore and the injured will get cash compensation and free medical treatment.

“CM should inform at farmers’ convention which he is going to address on Monday that how much compensation has the government given to family of deceased farmers and whether the cases registered against farmers have been withdrawn.

Leader of opposition Ajay Singh has asked to call off farmers’ convention scheduled in 49 district headquarters and in Bhopal. Citing reason, he said “On Sunday, due to hailstorm the farmers have lost their crop and they will be busy saving the remaining crop. The government should save the amount to be spent on conventions and disburse it to farmers.” Government will spend about Rs 500 crore on conventions, according to Singh.
