UP CM Yogi Adityanath reaches out to farmers, cites pro-farm moves of govt

LUCKNOW: Launching BJP’s Gaon Sankalp Yatra in Muzaffarnagar, UP CM Yogi Adityanath said Monday that farmers were on govt’s top priority.

He reminded them about the respect BJP had bestowed with the announcement of Bharat Ratna for “messiah of farmers” Chaudhary Charan Singh, agricultural scientist MS Swaminathan and former Bihar CM Karpoori Thakur.

“Sugarcane dues of seven years were pending when BJP came to power in UP. We managed to clear 99.09% of last year’s dues. Out of 119 mills, there are 105 which pay off dues within 10 days. We are putting pressure on the remaining to pay dues at the earliest. When we came to power, we promised to waive off loans of farmers and we did it in the first cabinet meeting,” the CM claimed.

“We made provision ofRs 1,500 crore in the previous budget and of Rs 2,400 crore in the current budget for free power to farmers who use private tubewells. This is the first time that ‘annadata kisan’ is on the agenda of any govt,” he added.
