The State Congress has alleged that the Modi Government has cheated the farmers of the State, who have been financially disconcerted by announcing the hike in the rates of the diesel and the petrol.
Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee’s Secretary Surendra Singh Raghuvanshi has stated that the Central Government is exploiting the debt-ridden farmers of the state, who have been troubled by the natural calamities. This is the 26th time, when the Central Government has burdened the famers of the state with the hike in the rates of the petrol and diesel.
Raghuvanshi further stated that the State Government has also been harassing he farmers by the tax 27 percent tax on the petrol and diesel. This is the highest tax rate as compared to other states. From 4 to 5 years, the farmers of the state are suffering from the natural calamities including heavy rain, drought and flood but the farmers have been deprived of the crop insurance and the compensation.
Raghuvanshi said that this government has cheated the people of the country with the lollipop of ‘ache din’. The Government has exploited the farmers of the state as well as the country. Manmohan Singh-led Government had increased the rates of the petrol and diesel seven times while the Narendra Modi Government has increased the rates 26th times. Raghuvanshi demanded that Modi Government should give the earned amount back to the people, which has been earned by increasing the price of petrol and diesel otherwise congress will initiate protest and agitation against the Government. Congress will always support the farmers of the country.
