The House Committee of Odisha Assembly today decided to seek another appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and demand hike in the rate of MSP.
"The delegation of the House Committee would like to meet the Prime Minister by June 30 to discuss the MSP of paddy," Agriculture Minister Damodar Rout said after the House Committee meeting, chaired by Speaker Pradip Kumar Amat.
The effort to get an appointment would be made again as the House Committee did not get any reply from the PMO earlier.
Former Food and Civil Supplies minister Sanjay Das Burma alleged that the PMO did not give time to the House Committee even after an appointment was earlier sought.
On March 25, the Odisha Assembly had unanimously adopted a resolution recommending the state government to urge the Centre to increase the MSP of common paddy from Rs 1,470 per quintal to Rs 2,930 .
