Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed farmers' conferences in Madhya Pradesh through video conferencing today(18th December 2020). A large number of farmers attended the 'Kisan Mahasammelan' organised at Dussehra ground in Raisen. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh was also present on the occasion. Recently enacted laws giving farmers freedom in selling their produce "have not been brought in overnight" but are opposed by political parties for selfish reasons, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday as he insisted that support price for agricultural products will continue. Meanwhile, thousands of farmers continue to camp at several Delhi border points for the 23rd day to press for the repeal of the Centre's new farm laws.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday requested political parties to keep all the credit for their "old election manifestos" which had reportedly promised agriculture sector reforms and urged them to stop misguiding the farmers over the new farm laws.
The Prime Minister further said, those who have started this movement in the name of farmers, when they had a chance to run the government or become part of the government, what they did back then, the country needs to remember.
"Swaminathan Commission report is the biggest proof of how ruthless these people can be. These people sat on Swaminathan Commission report recommendations for 8 long years...They ensured that their govt doesn't have to spend much on farmers, so they kept the report under wraps," said PM Modi.
