Modi Government Making Farming Profitable: Santosh Pandey
Addressing the gathering, MP Santosh Pandey said the Kisan Morcha plays a crucial role in strengthening the voice of farmers. He urged office-bearers to actively raise farmers’ issues through the organization and work towards effective solutions.
Highlighting the slogan “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan and Jai Vigyan,” Pandey said the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is promoting innovation in agriculture and encouraging organic farming as a sustainable solution for the future. He also called upon party workers to ensure that the benefits of the government’s welfare schemes reach farmers in the most remote areas.
BJP Criticizes Congress Over Farmer Policies
BJP district president Komal Singh Rajput criticized the Congress party, claiming that anti-farmer policies had long been part of its political approach. He said that during previous administrations farmers often received payments for paddy procurement in installments and had to purchase gunny bags themselves.
Rajput asserted that under the current BJP-led government, farmers are receiving record prices for paddy and payments are being transferred directly to their bank accounts in a single installment.
