New Delhi. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday hit back at the Congress which is trying to corner the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government on the issue of farmers, saying that the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi may not even know what a barley ear looks like and what a wheat ear looks like.
The party also said that the opposition is calling the results of the general elections as their ‘moral victory’ but they do not realize that in most of the countries where elections were held after the corona epidemic, there has been a change of power, but the people of India have brought Narendra Modi to power for the third time. BJP MP from Fatehpur Sikri Rajkumar Chahar said that will the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party, which do politics in the name of farmers, be able to tell what they have done for the farmers.
He said, “I want to ask the Congress what has it done for the farmers? Your leader does not even know what a barley ear looks like and what a wheat ear looks like?” Describing the Union Budget as a historic budget, Chahar said that it (the budget) will provide employment, self-employment and will also play a role in fulfilling the resolution of a developed India. He said that India is soon going to become the third economy of the world. He also described it as a budget that will empower villages, towns, workers, tribals and the underprivileged.
Chahar targeted the Aam Aadmi Party and asked its members that it is their government in Delhi, but the farmers here have not been given the status of farmers. When Dharmendra Yadav of the Samajwadi Party interrupted him, he said that there was nothing in their (SP’s) government except Saifai.
He said that the opposition, which ruled for nearly 50 years, never remembered the Minimum Support Price (MSP), but today it is remembering MSP. He challenged the opposition, especially the Congress, to name two of its schemes in which something has been done for the farmers. Chahar said that Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government had started the Kisan Credit Card Scheme, which the Modi government has also linked to fisheries and animal husbandry.
BJP MP from Nawada, Vivek Thakur said that the opposition is calling the results of the general elections a ‘moral victory’, but it does not realize that in global politics after the corona epidemic, in most of the countries where elections were held, there has been a change of power, but the people of India have brought Modi to power for the third time. On the opposition’s allegations of giving more priority to Bihar in the budget, he said that the opposition has narrowed the national budget. He said that if Bihar is removed from the history of India, then it will not be known where to write the history of this country or where to end it.
Thakur said that in the budget, Bihar has been given the right which was snatched from it since independence. He said, “Whatever we got in the budget is our right. Biharis do not snatch anyone’s right.” He questioned whether the opposition’s intention is that Bihar should always keep suffering, keep facing the horrors of floods and keep facing the anomalies that happened in the past.
Praising the budget, Chandan Chauhan of Rashtriya Lok Dal, an ally of the ruling NDA, said that it reflects ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’ and the Finance Minister has made generous provisions for every section. M Mallesh Babu of JD(S) said that the government has given importance to the agriculture sector in the budget and organic farming has been given priority in it.
