Congress Demands Fair Sweet Lime Prices for Farmers
Congress leaders are upset because sweet lime farmers aren't getting enough money for their crops.
The price they get for their sweet limes has dropped a lot, from 50,000 rupees to 15,000 rupees per ton.
This is especially bad for farmers in a place called Pulivendula.
The Congress party wants the government to fix this by making sure farmers get a fair price, getting rid of the people who buy the limes in between, and paying the farmers what they are owed quickly.
They also want to help the farmers who have already lost money.
Congress demands fair price for sweet lime farmers in Kadapa district.
Sweet lime price dropped from Rs 50,000 to Rs 15,000 per tonne.
The price drop affects farmers in the Pulivendula constituency.
Congress wants government to stabilize prices and eliminate middlemen.
Congress also calls for compensation and prompt payments to farmers.
