Will honour Rahul Gandhi if he can identify wheat and paddy: BJP Kisan Morcha president
BJP’s Kisan Morcha president Virendra Singh said that both the Centre and state governments were committed to double the income of farmers by 2022.
BJP’s Kisan Morcha president Virendra Singh on Tuesday challenged Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who has been quite vocal about farmers issues in the country, to identify common crops first. He said he will honour him if he’s able to identify common crops like wheat and paddy.
“If the Congress president Rahul Gandhi can identify wheat, paddy, jwar, bajra (pearl millet) then I in the capacity of president of BJP’s Kisan Morcha will go to his office and honour him,” Virendra Singh told PTI.
The Kisan Morcha president said that the NDA government is committed to double the income of the farmers by 2022, adding that his party would continue to raise demands for farmers’ welfare, including the constitution of a ‘Kisan Aayog’.
Singh, who is also a Lok Sabha MP from Bhadohi (UP) said, “In this country agriculture is not a vyavsaaye (business) but a jeevan dhara (stream of life). The BJP believes that social, economic and cultural development of the farmers is very essential for the prosperity of the nation.”
He further said that the Kisan Morcha will be holding six ‘krishi-rishi’ programmes in the state to honour Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, whose government has launched several farmer-welfare schemes.
