Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday mentioned doubling farmers earnings was the greatest priority of the Narendra Modi government and that the 3 central farm laws would assure manifold hike in their earnings.
Since coming to energy, the Modi government had elevated the spending budget for the farm sector and also the minimum assistance price tag on a variety of crops, he mentioned.
“I want to say that if there is any big priority of the Narendra Modi government it is to double the farmers income,” he mentioned at an occasion in Kerakalmatti village in this district in Karnataka.
Speaking soon after laying the foundation stone and inauguration of farmer-friendly projects of the MRN group, headed by newly inducted Karnataka Minister Murugesh R Nirani, Mr Shah listed out a variety of programmes and initiatives of the central government for the welfare of the farmers.
Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa led BJP government in the state as well has not left any stone unturned to work for the welfare of farmers, the Home Minister mentioned.
Questioning the Congress as to why it could not take up measures like Rs 6,000 money assistance per year for farmers and Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana insurance coverage scheme amongst other people, he mentioned, it was for the reason that the party’s intentions had been not ideal.
“The Narendra Modi government is a government dedicated to farmers. Three new laws that the Modi government has brought in, which the Karnataka government has also passed… I want to congratulate Yediyurapp for it. Farmer’s income will increase multifold due to them,” he mentioned.
His remarks came amid the continuing agitation by farmers, specially from Punjab and Haryana, on the borders of Delhi, demanding the repeal of the 3 laws.
Farmers had been not compelled any longer to sell their generate at a single spot and can get access to international and Indian markets for their crops, he added.
Mr Shah also mentioned that none had the courage to abrogate the provisions of Article 370 and Article 35A in Kashmir in the previous 70 years.
“You made Modi the Prime Minister and on August 5, 2019 he ended Article 370 and Article 35A from Kashmir and connected it with India permanently. Today elections have also happened there peacefully without shedding even a drop of blood and Kashmir has become ours permanently,” he added.
