Modi's address to MP farmers: PM said- MSP will not be closed, nor will it end; Some people are shining politics by scaring farmers

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing farmers of Madhya Pradesh through video conferencing. Modi said that some people are firing guns on farmers' shoulders. They are spreading lies on agricultural reforms. Farmers are shining their politics by showing fear of losing land. MSP will not be closed, nor will it end. We are giving more MSP than the previous government.

'New agricultural laws are being discussed a lot'

Time cannot wait for us. In a rapidly changing scenario, India's farmers may fall behind due to lack of facilities, this is not right. The works that should have been done 25-30 years ago are happening now. In the last 6 years, the government has taken several steps keeping farmers in mind. There is a lot of discussion of new laws. These laws did not come overnight. For 20-22 years, the governments of the country and the states, farmer organizations discussed it. Agricultural economists, scientists have been demanding reforms in this field.

'Take all the credit, but let the farmers rest easy'

Farmers should seek answers from those who kept promising promises in their manifesto but kept avoiding the demands because the farmer was not a priority. Look at the old manifestos, if the old statements are heard, then the agricultural reforms that have been done today are the same as those which were said. He has been pained by how Modi has done what we said. How did Modi get credit? I say keep all the credit with you, but let the farmers rest easy. Now, by spreading a lie trap, farmers are being warped by placing a gun on the shoulder.

'Farmers Talkers Suppressed Swaminathan Commission Report for 8 Years'

The government is repeatedly asking which clause is the problem, please tell. These parties have no answer to this. They are shining their politics by showing fear of the farmers will lose their land. It is important to remember what they did when they had a chance to run the government. I want to open his raw letter in front of you. The Swaminathan Commission report is the proof of how people talking about farmers, people who shed false tears. These people kept pressing this report for 8 years.

'We gave MSP one and a half times the cost to farmers'

They felt that the government did not have to spend much on the farmers, so kept the report under pressure. Our government considers farmers as providers. We took out the report of the Swaminathan Commission. Gave MSP one and a half times the cost to farmers. An example of fraud with farmers is the promise of debt waiver. Before the elections in Madhya Pradesh, it was said that we will forgive the loan, but nothing happened. Millions of farmers of Rajasthan are still waiting for a debt waiver. This is how I think someone can manipulate innocent farmers to such an extent.

'Government serious about MSP'

A lie is being spoken again and again. I said that our government did the work of implementing the Swaminathan report. The government is so serious about MSP that it announces before sowing. Farmers get to know how much MSP is going to be available on which crop. These laws came into force 6 months ago. The MSP was announced as before, the purchase was made in the same mandis. The MSP was announced after the law was enacted, crops were purchased on this MSP. I want to say that the MSP will not be closed, nor will it end.

'Some parties have left no stone unturned to destroy the farmers'

Our government gave more than 8 lakh crores to farmers on the purchase of wheat and paddy. In the earlier government, pulses were sourced from abroad. These people left no stone unturned to destroy the farmers of the country which has the highest consumption of pulses. The farmers were upset, these people were having fun. It is true that in case of any natural calamity or crisis, help can be taken from abroad, but it cannot always be done.

'Farmers are being misled on MSP'

In their 5 years before 2014, only 1.5 lakh metric tonnes of pulses were purchased from farmers. We encouraged farmers to grow pulses. We bought 112 lakh metric tonnes of lentils. He gave 650 crores to pulses farmers, so we gave 50 thousand crores. Today the pulses farmer is getting more money. Those who could neither give MSP to farmers nor buy MSP in the same manner, they are misleading the farmers.

'Farmers to get 7.5 lakh crores in 10 years'

Every new and old experience tells that they never do as much as they announce. Farmers thought that the loan would be forgiven, but they used to get a bank notice. If the media people do this research, then everything will be found in the report from 8-10 years ago. The debt of some big farmers is forgiven, their political bread is in sync, who asks the rest of the small farmers? The country is watching all this. The country is seeing purity like Ganga water, water of Maa Narmada in our intention. He said that once in 10 years, by waiving the loan and giving 50 thousand crores. In our time, 7.5 lakh crore farmers will get 10 years.

'There is no reason to doubt agricultural reforms'

We are working to make the Annadata an energy donor. Bee, animal, and fisheries are giving importance. Earlier 76 thousand tons of honey was produced, today 1.76 lakh tons of honey is being produced. Matsya Sampada Yojana has also been started. I say with confidence that there is no reason for mistrust of agricultural reforms.

'Farmers are now getting the necessary capital for farming'

Today 1600 crores were deposited in the account of farmers without any middleman. This has become possible due to technology. This modern system that India has created is being discussed all over the world. Today, credit cards have been handed over to many farmers here. Earlier everyone did not get it. Our government changed the rules for this. Now farmers are getting the necessary capital for farming. Farmers have now got freedom from taking loans.

'Industry helps in storage, food processing'

It is true that no matter how hard the farmer works, but if there is no proper storage of fruits and vegetables, there is a lot of damage. It is not just the farmer, it is the loss of the whole of India. About one lakh crore fruits and vegetables are wasted due to this. Earlier there was a lot of apathy about it. Our priority is to make cold storage structures in the country. I will ask the industry to come forward to arrange storage, food processing. It may be that your earnings are slightly lower, but the farmers will do well.
