Despite a hike of Rs 200 per quintal to Rs 1,750 in the minimum support price (MSP) of rice, Chhattisgarh's paddy farmers are an unhappy lot. Chhattisgarh, eastern India's 'rice bowl', is home to 43 lakh farmers and paddy is the state's main crop. They were hoping the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government would keep its promise of paying an MSP of Rs 2,100.
