Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi is making baseless statements for the person, who has connected every community of the country and glorified name of the country in the world,” said Bharatiya Janata Party’s State President and MP Nandkumar Singh Chouhan.
In a statement, Chouhan stated that when the UPA Government was ruling in the leadership of Congress, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were controlling the system. The farmers were committing suicide and people were upset due to the rising prices.
The incidents of farmers’ suicides were increasing in the Congress ruled states. Congress never discussed on the issues of the farmers. Congress made excuses of global recession. Congress accomplished its responsibility by sending a train of water in the name of help for the drought hit Bundelkhand. Congress never tried to increase the irrigation capacity and the resources for farming.
Chouhan further stated that Narendra Modi’s Prime Minister Crop insurance scheme has decreased the risk of the farmers with the participation of the state government and the central government. The government has made the ambitious programme of increasing 99 lakh hector irrigation capacity. Thirty river link projects would start soon. Ken-Betwa link project would also be completed soon.
Chouhan said that Congress never focused on making the farmers efficient with the new techniques of farming. Congress used the farmers only as a vote bank so far. However, in the changed scenario, the farmers of the country are becoming fans of the PM Modi due to his works.
Chouhan added Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Kisan Yatra’ is nothing but his political tourism. Gandhi ate food with the dalit farmer increased his debts.
