The Union Minister of State for Power Jyotiraditya Scindia wrote a letter to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan stating that he had gone to visit his constituency and has personally seen the destruction of the crops.
He had talk with the farmers. He urged the Chief Minister that he should adopt sensitive and positive attitude and conduct the survey of the damage of crops and
give cent percent compensation to the farmers who lost 50% crops. Scindia expected that compensation of rupees 5000 should be given to the farmers and their loans should be waved.
He expresses the hope that the Chief Minister will take this action on priority basis before the code of conduct of the lok Sabha election come to the force.
Scindia attacked Chouhan over "non-payment" of compensation to farmers affected by unseasonal rains and hailstorm.
‘"Shivraj Singh Chouhan claims to be a well-wisher of farmers but so far no compensation has been given to them," Scindia said here after performing ground-breaking ceremony for five power sub-stations. Scindia said he was ready to take to the streets for the cause of farmers.
