The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday organised the Kisan Mahapanchayat in Delhi to support the three new farm acts implemented by the Modi Government.
Delhi BJP Co-incharge Dr. Alka Gurjar and Leader of Opposition (LoP)Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and other leaders addressed and informed farmers about the positive changes in the lives with the implementation of farm acts.
On this occasion State Organization General Secretary Siddharthan, State General Secretary Kuljeet Singh Chahal, State Kisan Morcha President Vinod Sehrawat, NAFED Director and District In-Charge Outer Delhi Ashok Thakur, District President Bajrang Shukla, Former MLA Manoj Shaukeen, District Secretary Gajendra Singh and many village pradhan including farmers were present.
National Secretary, Dr Gurjar said that, the three new Farm Acts are historic step towards strengthening and empowering the “Annadata”.” The three new Farm Acts will give the rights to farmers who are being suppressed by the middlemen for years. The contract will be only for crop and not for land, only the farmer will have the right to grow the crop in the field. Farmers can increase the quality of farming by connecting to technology, which will also increase the quantity of their product,” She said, adding, “while there are some farmers in the movement against the Farm Acts , but there are some people who are there for fulfilling their political interests, and are trying to mislead the farmers, but they will never succeed because the people of the country understand who wants to serve their own interests and who wants to work in public interest.”Attacking the Congress, Dr Gurjar said, “Over many years of governance, the Congress has worked to benefit the middlemen rather than the farmers and now they cannot see the benefits of the farmers, hence they are adopting every tactic to ensure loss to the farmers.”
LoP Bidhuri said that, during the tenure of Modi government, agricultural production has increased and farmers have been given good price for the crop.
“Under the Farm Acts, the MSP will continue, the mandis will expand but due to political ambition, opposition parties are opposing these Acts.” “ The Kejriwal government also notified one of the three Acts on November 23, 2020, but in view of the Punjab elections, he is trying to prove himself to be farmer friendly by opposing these Acts”
Adding the farmers of Delhi are the worst sufferers across the country, Bidhuri targeted Kejriwal government, saying he did not implement the Soil Health Card Scheme, Kisan Credit Card Scheme, PM Kisan Yojana, Prime Minister Agricultural Irrigation Scheme, Prime Minister Crop Insurance Scheme, Institutional Agricultural Credit Scheme and Neem Coated Urea Scheme because of political malice in Delhi. This is the reason that the farmers of Delhi could not get the benefit of any of the above schemes brought by the Prime Minister.
“Farmers of Delhi are not allowed to install tubewells, electricity is also expensive and there is no irrigation system,” Bidhuri said, “in the political career of 50 years I have fought for the farmers and I am giving my word that the three Farm Acts will not harm the farmers, but they will get more benefits, which will also improve their economic condition and increase their income.”
