He said farmers in the Seemanchal region depend heavily on maize and makhana cultivation. However, prices of both crops have dropped in recent months. Yadav claimed that changes in ethanol purchase policies have reduced the demand for maize. At the same time, issues related to exports have affected makhana prices.

The MP said the protest aims to push the government to ensure fair prices and better support for farmers. He added that many farmers are facing financial stress due to the fall in crop prices.

Yadav also raised concerns about crimes against women in Bihar and said he would start another campaign across the state after April 18 to highlight women’s safety.
