The Rajasthan BJP has opposed the State Government's decision to discontinue the supply of irrigation water to the farmers of the Indira Gandhi Canal area over a month ahead of the scheduled time. "The move is totally anti people and anti-farmer," former Minister and party spokesperson, Manickchand Surana, said in a statement.
