During the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Haryana, Rahul Gandhi discussed the issues of farming and farmers with big farmer leaders of many states. During this, Rahul Gandhi said that my own goal is that after 10-12 years from today the farmer’s son should say that he has to do farming, because today the farmer’s son is avoiding it.
Today it is happening that they have given the entire structure in the hands of 2 people. Farmer’s land is being snatched away. They are not getting the right price. Food processing, super market all belong to them. Farmer leaders Rakesh Tikait, Yudhveer Singh, Yogendra Yadav were also involved in this discussion.
Rahul Gandhi listening to farmer leaders. Former Haryana CM Bhupinder Hooda was also present with him.
Tikait said – loss of 2 thousand crores to the farmers
While discussing with Rahul Gandhi, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait said that if you go to Kashmir, then the case of an apple will also come in front of you. The Government of India caused a loss of 2 thousand crores to them. Their trucks were stopped for 18 days because Adani’s apples were to be sold here. He himself stayed among the farmers there for 3 days. If the farmer there dies, he will get Rs 400-500 per kg of apples here.
Land acquisition is the gift of Congress – Yudhveer
Farmer leader Yudhveer Singh said that Bhupendra Singh Hooda also ran the government for 10 years, he took everyone along. The Land Acquisition Act is your contribution. This government destroyed it by making a model act. Gave all the power to the state, now they are doing whatever they want. Yudhveer demanded that it should be made a law like before when your government is formed. MSP is our main demand, but now our morale is broken. Forgot the ROI. You at least give the guarantee of MSP.
Yogendra Yadav raised the issue of sugarcane price and scrap policy
Farmer leader Yogendra Yadav also put forward the issues like sugarcane price, scrap policy, shortage of fertilizers in front of Rahul Gandhi. A farmer leader said that during the Hooda government, the price of sugarcane used to increase by Rs 19 every year, but now only Rs 8 is being increased every year.
Diesel vehicles for 10 years and petrol vehicles for 15 years, this policy has been started only in Haryana, while the farmer’s 30 to 40 years old tractor is still working in the field. This will harm the farmers.
Rahul said – If there is a deficiency in the government, then tell me immediately
Rahul Gandhi said that today we need to work together, because this will be possible through partnership. He told the farmer leaders that wherever our government is, if you feel that there is a deficiency in our government, then feel free to tell me, give inputs, I will try my best to rectify them. He said that the doors of me and the Congress party will always be open for you.
