Opinion | Trust Modi: Farmers should see his track record and talk

India TV News  

The stage is now set for fresh talks between the Centre and leaders of farmers’ outfits on Tuesday even as more farmers from Haryana, Punjab and western UP have joined the protesters. Elaborating on how his government helped farmers, the PM said: “The previous government during five years prior to 2014, purchased only Rs 650 crore worth pulses from farmers. The previous government bought Rs 2 lakh crore worth paddy from farmers in five years, we purchased Rs 5 lakh crore worth paddy in five years at MSP rates. The previous government bought Rs 1.5 lakh crore worth wheat in five years, while out government bought Rs 3 lakh crore worth wheat from farmers in five years. Our government is spending crores to modernize mandis.” Without naming the Congress, Modi hit out at the party saying: “You must remember, these are the people who used to spread lies in streets, at press conference, and on Twitter, that Modi has brought Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme only to get farmers’ votes during elections.
