New Delhi: The Union Minister of Agriculture Shivraj Singh Chohan on Monday said that the center is trying to increase the profit for farmers and that efforts are underway to increase production, reduce the cost of production, give a fair price for the production, and compensate in case of loss.
Speaking with the media, Chohan said that on Republic Day, farmers also participate in the parade. “Our farmer brothers and sisters from across the country have come here to participate in the parade and are very happy. We are trying under the leadership of the Prime Minister to increase the profit for farmers.”
“Many efforts are going on to increase production, reduce the cost of production, give a fair price for the production, and compensate in case of loss. Proposals for the rationalization of subsidies have also come from the farmers, so the Agriculture Ministry is taking many measures for farmers,” said Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Earlier in the day, Chouhan took a potshot at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi ahead of their visit to Indore’s Mhow, the birthplace of Dr BR Ambedkar.
Chouhan accused the Congress party of consistently insulting Ambedkar and failing to honour his legacy during their rule in Madhya Pradesh.
Chouhan advised Kharge and Gandhi to apologise before Babasaheb’s memorial.
