In a statement here today, Majithia said due to the step-motherly behaviour of the Union Government, farmers in Punjab were facing problems in the grain markets of the state due to shortage of gunny bags.

He said it is shameful that despite leading the country in food security, the farmers of Punjab were facing acute shortage of gunny bags.

Majithia said that it was the result of wrong policies of UPA Government that led to the problem of rotting grains in the open.

He said the government should immediately provide the required gunny bags to Punjab.
