AP: Ex-CM Jagan Reddy demands average price for tobacco produce

Ongole, June 11 (UNI) Reiterating that farmers are in distress and two tobacco farmers committed suicide as they could not get any help from the coalition government, former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy demanded that the State rope in Markfed as a buyer in the auction and ensure average price to the farmers, failing which they will launch an agitation.
