Ethanol will also fetch you (farmers) good profits.”Ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, sugarcane is again causing a great deal of embarrassment for the incumbent BJP government as Rs 10,000 crore dues to farmers is still pending. You are producing too much of sugarcane now,” said Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath in Baghpat after the foundation stone laying ceremony for developing the 154-km Delhi-Saharanpur Highway on Tuesday.
