On Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu’s remarks on sugarcane prices, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya on Monday said it is good to see the Congress chief admit that BJP governments are doing better than Congress-ruled states.

In fact, Punjab Congress President Navjot Sind Sidhu had advised the Punjab CM on Twitter regarding sugarcane farmers. He had said that despite the high cost of cultivation in Punjab, the price assured by the state is very low as compared to Haryana, UP and Uttarakhand. The Congress President said that the issue of sugarcane farmers should be resolved amicably immediately, and appealed to the state government led by CM Amarinder Singh to make Punjab SAP better.
