In the midst of the ongoing farmers’ movement in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Kisan Mahasammelan in Madhya Pradesh today. PM Narendra Modi addressed farmers through video conferencing at the ‘Kisan Kalyan’ program in Raisen, Madhya Pradesh. During this time, PM Modi said that today he transferred 16 hundred crores to the bank accounts of 35 lakh farmers of Madhya Pradesh. During his address, PM Modi gave clarification to the farmers regarding the Agricultural Law and MSP.
PM Modi clarifies farmers about MSP-
PM Modi said that if we had to remove the MSP, then why would the Swaminathan Committee report be implemented? Secondly, our government is so serious about MSP that every time, it announces MSP before sowing. This also makes it easier for the farmer, he also comes to know first that this crop is going to get so much MSP.
PM Modi said that as much as he promised, he never waived the loan, his relatives and relatives of the Congress used to get the benefit. They only waived the debt of big farmers and thought that their work was done. PM Modi said that once in 10 years, Congress talked about loan waiver of Rs 50 thousand crore, but 75 thousand crore is being given every year under our government Kisan Samman Yojana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that if old governments were concerned, 100 irrigation projects would not hang in the country. Our government is completing these schemes in mission mode by spending crores of rupees. The government is engaged in reducing the cost of farmers, solar pumps are being given cheaply. PM Modi said that there were problems of urea in the UPA government, but today those troubles are over. In these times, subsidies used to go up in the name of the farmer, but someone else used to get the benefit. Our government put an end to corruption and gave money directly to the farmers account.
The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh will put Rs 1600 crore in the account of 35 lakh farmers of the state today. This was announced by CM Shivraj during the cabinet meeting held on 15 December. This is the money for the loss of crops like soybean, which occurred this year. This amount is one third of the total payment. During the Kisan Mahamelan, Kisan Credit Card will be distributed to about 2000 cattle rearers and fish farmers.
During the Kisan Mahamelan, land-building and inauguration of construction works of about 75 crore rupees, such as godowns, Kisan Suvidha Kendra, will also be done.
