Mr Vikramaditya Singh also stated on Sunday that his statement on Rakesh Taiket was regarding the Solan Sabjimandi incident however he supported the farmer agitations and his statement was not regarding his support for the crashing of apple market.
The Congress party and its leaders in the state seemed to be not following the AICC stand on the farmers’ issues as there are contradictory statements by the party leaders in the state.
Number of them in social media commented and condemned opposing BKU leader’s solidarity Apple growers on the line of BJP leaders which is taking the repressive steps on farmer protests.
A convention of Syunkat Kisan Manch( SKM) leaders including BKU state members including Himachal Pradesh Kisan Sabha is also being held on Mondayat Kalibari hall at Shimla on the issue of crashing of apple and Tomato markets. 
It is worthwhile to mention that other than A -1 grade apples and Tomato are not being sold on the remunerative prices after crashing of markets in the state which likely to have implications on the livelihood of lakhs of households.
Barring few Congress leaders and CPI(M) party none of them are supporting the cause of distressed farmers and apple growers in the state. 
Ruling BJP including Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur have been denied any crashing of markets and slumps vehemently opposed farmers and BKU for raising this issue in the media.
BJP spokesman Baldev Tomar attributed the crashing of apple markets due to demand and supply gap defending the role of private corporate houses. 
Number of farmers and apple growers are of the view that fixation of price of A grade apple by the Adani Agrifresh group is responsible for the chaos.
Currently in the mid of apple seasons crops belonging to mid and high belts are pouring in the markets however the market sentiment is devastated by the market forces which did not want the royts or apple growers to get good prices.
Apple growers in large numbers are now trying to send their crop to Chandigarh and Azadpur fruit and vegetable markets after the local market was crashed and gutted leading massive loss to apple growers who are toiling hard to get back their input costs which have increased exorbitantly due to massive inflation.
The apple is considered the backbone of the hill economy of the size of Rs 3500 to Rs 4000 Cr which renders the livelihood of about four lakhs households.
