While the opposition members were in the well of the house, the Congress members sat on dharna. They were demanding that the govt should immediately announce cane price. Leader of the opposition Swami Prasad Maurya alleged that the cane farmers were forced to burn their produce due to the apathetic attitude of the Samajwadi Party govt by not announcing the SAP. State Parliamentary affairs minister Mohammad Azam Khan said that the BSP has no right to talk about the canefarmers as their government had sold off the sugarmills to the 'mafias' at throw away price.
