New Delhi, February 19: Samajwadi Party will oppose the Government’s decision to hike urea prices during the coming Budget session of Parliament and plans to rope in key UPA allies Trinamool Congress and DMK to protest the move.
“The government’s decision to hike urea prices by 10 per cent is anti-farmer. Till now, farmers had been committing suicide, but through this decision, the government has almost imposed a death sentence on them,” SP general secretary and spokesperson Mohan Singh said here.
“We will bring in a motion against the government’s move and will also rope in UPA allies like Trinamool Congress and DMK (who have opposed the decision) to support us,” he said.
Singh claimed the UPA government took the decision despite opposition from Chemical and Fertilisers Minister M K Alagiri, who is DMK supremo M Karunanidhi’s son.
