Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath dedicated and laid the foundation stones of around 250 projects worth Rs 593 crore in Jaunpur and Deoria districts on Friday. Besides, he also dedicated a Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Hapur, saying that the Bharatiya Janata Party regime was committed to the development of the state.
Inaugurating the Krishi Vigyan Bhawan through the click of a mouse, Yogi said that Indian farmers were progressive and wanted new inventions to increase farm production.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured that farmers’ income would be doubled by 2022 and they should get remunerative price of their produce. The BJP government is committed to ensuring all help to the farmers,” he said.
The chief minister said it was the era of “One Nation, One Market’ where farmers had the freedom to sell products anywhere for getting good prices.
“Besides, the government has assured minimum support price (MSP) for the farm sector. This is the time to go for healthy competition and if we want our farmers to grow, they should be given free market. The farm bills passed by Parliament are to benefit the country and farmers and people should support that,” Yogi said.
