District President of the Bharatiya Janata Party Kisan Morcha, Daduram Sonkar, has welcomed the release of the 22nd installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing it as a major victory and financial support for the country’s farmers.
In a statement issued on Friday, Sonkar said the day marks a moment of celebration for farmers across the country. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has transferred more than ₹18,000 crore directly into the bank accounts of over 9 crore farmers with a single click from Guwahati. This reflects the government’s strong commitment toward the welfare of farmers,” he said.
He further stated that more than 24.71 lakh farmers in Chhattisgarh have also received the installment under the scheme, calling it clear evidence of the government’s farmer-friendly policies.
‘Modi’s Guarantee Means Every Promise Fulfilled’
Sonkar emphasized that the phrase “Modi ki Guarantee” represents the assurance that every promise made to the people will be fulfilled. According to him, the continued financial assistance under the PM-Kisan scheme has strengthened the confidence of farmers and provided them with timely support for agricultural activities.
