Wait for 2 years to see agri reforms impact, Rajhanth Singh to farmers

Union defence minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday appeal to farmers to see changes in the farm sector in the next one and half years. Otherwise, we can improve them through talks. He was addressing the people of Himachal Pradesh via video-conferencing on the completion of three year of Jai Ram Thakur-led BJP government.“Be it the 1991 economic reforms brought in by the Narasimha Rao government or other ones enacted during the Vajpayee government, it took four-five years to see their positive results. If we can’t wait for four-five years, we can wait for at least two years to witness positive results of the agriculture reforms carried out by the Narendra Modi government,” Singh said.

Slamming the opposition for misleading farmers, Singh said, “It’s unfortunate that those who don’t even know about farming, are misleading innocent farmers. This govt never intended to stop MSP, neither it will in future. Mandis will also be maintained. No ‘Mai Ka Lal’ can take away land from farmers.” He reiterating that the Modi goverment id commited to protect minimum support price so that farmers’ interests are not hurt at any cost.
