During a recent poll rally in Gangarampur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah pledged to enhance the supply of potatoes from West Bengal to other states. This initiative aims to provide farmers with better prices for their produce, ensuring they receive a fair return on their investments.

The move aligns with the governments broader agricultural policy, which seeks to promote inter-state trade and improve farmer incomes across the country. West Bengal is a significant producer of potatoes, contributing to both local consumption and national markets.

Shahs statement reflects the ruling partys commitment to addressing farmers concerns, particularly in the context of rising agricultural production costs and market fluctuations. The promise comes at a crucial time as farmers and agricultural stakeholders are advocating for more support and fair pricing mechanisms.
