Rediff.com's Prasanna D Zore who is at BJP National Executive meeting being held in Mumbai says that party senior leader Rajanath Singh in a press conference at the venue addressed the issue of genetically modified crops.

Singh says GM crops should be banned. When asked if Gujarat, which is a major proponent of GM crops would implement it, he said the state is seeking a moratorium first and can consider banning it later. Singh said GM crops do not increase productivity.
