Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar has shot off a letter to the Prime Minister, expressing displeasure about certain policies of the UPA that he feels are detrimental to farmers' interests. The NCP chief is said to be irked by curbs on milk, cotton and sugar exports. Pawar wrote to the PM after group of ministers disallowed cotton export beyond 13 million bales for the current marketing year.
The cotton exports ban has also been opposed by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Congress state units in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Pawar said, "Compromising the interest of small cotton farmers to benefit the textile magnates is indeed a travesty of justice. It defies logic to permit the consumer of cotton, i.e textile industry, to dictate terms to cotton producer".
