Private companies created by Pawar are selling through private channels and minting money. Only farmers are suffering.
Quote:New Delhi, Nov. 9 (PTI): The food and consumer affairs ministry today said it had turned down requests from Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to resume non-basmati rice exports.
The government had banned the export of non-basmati rice in April 2008 to stabilise prices in the domestic market and maintain sufficient stocks to ensure food security in the country.
