'Govt failed to keep promises made to farmers' -Bhawna Singh

-The Hindu

New Delhi: Various farmers organisations including Swaraj India on Tuesday released the Green Paper on Farmers, Farming and Rural Economy, alleging that the present government was unable to fulfil promises made to the farmers.

“The present government is the most anti-farmer government in the history of India. It has failed to deliver its the promises. This includes ensuring cost plus 50% profit as the Minimum Support Price” said Yogendra Yadav, president of Swaraj India.

“Far from giving farmers and farming ‘the highest priority’ during a period when they needed the support, this government has tried to take away whatever little support different sections of farmers had. Budgetary and other announcements were turned into nothing except grand standing, with little action or money to back up these announcements,” the organisations said.

Kirankumar Vissa of Rythu Swarajya Vedika said, “The Central Government has come up with Market Assurance Scheme according to which the State governments should take responsibility of purchasing crops from farmers. However, unless the government provides funds for this procurement and market intervention, States are not in a position to do it on a large scale.”
