Farmers not able to sell their crops in cities due to increased bus fares...

My name is Raju Kumar. I am calling from Chatra district of Jharkhand. After Govt has raised the diesel prices the transportation cost has gone up many folds and it is becoming difficult for farmers to use buses any more. They are forced to sell their crop locally at lower rates which is only helping the middlemen. It looks instead of removing poverty Govt is working towards removing the poor. For more Raju Ji can be reached at 09430313721
