Modi Woos Farmers at Nawada Rally
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister addressed an election rally in Nawada and hailed the NDA’s poll promise to provide Rs 3,000 in addition to the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi to farmers in Bihar, saying ‘jinhe koi nahi poochhta, Modi unhe poojta hai’ (Modi worships those whom no one else cares about).
Prime Minister Modi took a jibe at the Opposition, claiming that the previous governments did not prioritise small farmers. He said, “The governments after independence did not prioritise small farmers. But this is Modi, ‘jinhe koi nahi poochhta, Modi unhe poojta hai’ (Modi worships those whom no one else cares about). In the last 11 years, our government has brought small farmers to the centre of the agriculture policy.”
He claimed that the government has provided Rs 650 crore to the 2 lakh farmers in Nawada. “We opened bank accounts for farmers, and they get the amount for PM Kisan Samman Nidhi in those bank accounts. The poor farmers have received Rs 20,000 crore. In Nawada, Rs 650 crore has been deposited in the accounts of 2 lakh farmers,” he said. (ANI)
