Spokesperson: Shri Digvijay Singh and Shri Randeep Singh Surjewala: Shri Randeep Singh Surjewala said that the conduct, character and face of the Modi government is anti-farmer and anti-farm. This was proved in the discussion on the farmer and farmer welfare department. The country’s Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, who has a track record of playing Holi with the blood of farmers, has unfortunately now become the country’s Agriculture Minister.

Today when we saw the affidavit of Modi Government given in the Supreme Court, which is dated 06 February, 2015, Modi Government said that farmers in India can never be given 50% profit on cost. So, what is the truth and what is the lie? What can be a bigger injustice than this to the farmers?

Regarding the farmer, it was said that the report of the Swaminathan Commission, which was constituted by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Congress’ UPA government, was thrown into the dustbin by the Congress, but the Modi government stated in the same affidavit on February 6, 2015, that the Congress government had implemented 175 recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission. So, what is the truth and what is the lie? Either they lie in the Supreme Court or they mislead the country inside the House. That is why we also asked the government whether they gave MSP for any crop? So, they said that farmers do not need MSP. Under the leadership of Kamal Nath ji, the Congress Party government waived the loans of about 37 lakh farmers. But in the House, the Agriculture Minister says that the Congress government did not waive off any loan in the opportunity it had. This is untrue and we have proof of it and I will give you the proceedings by tomorrow and everyone will raise this issue in the discussion of the Cooperative Ministry. - Monday, 5 August, 2024
