Farmers getting urea at subsidised rates only because of NDA govt: PM
The Prime Minister said that only because of NDA government, farmers getting urea at subsidised rates. "A farmer needs good seeds for farming, adequate and cheap fertilizers, irrigation facilities, protection of animals from diseases and protection from losses during disasters. Earlier, farmers used to be surrounded by crisis regarding all these aspects. Those who can eat animal feed can never change these conditions. The NDA government has changed these conditions," he said.
He further said that the milk production substantially increased in country due to NDA govt's efforts.
"Whether it is the Congress or 'jungle raj' people, the problems of farmers don't matter to them. Earlier when there was flood or drought or hailstorm, these people used to leave the farmers to fend for themselves. In 2014, when you blessed NDA, I said it will not work like this. The NDA govt launched Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, under which claims worth Rs 1.75 crore have been given to farmers in times of disaster," said PM Modi.
