PM Narendra Modi
Addressing party workers on the birth anniversary of Jana Sangh founder Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked them to reach out to the farmers on the ground and inform them in a simplified manner about the importance, intricacies of the farm bills and how these will empower them. Our ground connect will bust the “propaganda” being spread in the virtual world, PM Modi stated.
Speaking via video conference, the PM told BJP workers, “Reforms in agriculture will benefit small and marginalised farmers the most. The reforms in agriculture will benefit most to small and marginal farmers. 85 out of 100 farmers belong to this category and they are happy. For the first time, they got an option on the price of their produce. There is a tradition of selling in mandis, now if a farmer wants, he would be able to sell outside the mandis. Farmers can sell their produce as per his choice,” said PM Modi.
PM Modi also attacked the previous UPA government and accused them “of just making promises to farmers”.
“Previous governments used to make a complicated web of promises and laws which farmers or labourers could never understand. But BJP-led NDA government, has constantly tried to change this situation and has introduced reforms for the welfare of farmers,” said PM Modi.
“In the last few years, the NDA government has made complete efforts to connect farmers with banks. Over Rs 1 lakh crores were transferred to over 10 crore farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Our effort was to provide KISAN credit cards to more and more farmers so they can avail loans easily,” he added.
