Shivraj targets Mamata Didi over Prime Minister remark:Says Centre’s schemes halted in Bengal; critics may react, but farmers’ future will change

During Question Hour in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched his sharpest attack yet on the Mamata government of West Bengal. Shivraj stated in no uncertain terms that the Bengal government prioritizes politics over public interest. He said, “Let the opposition keep shouting ‘shame, shame’ with their placards, but the world is applauding India’s agricultural policies. Let those who are jealous burn, we will not rest until we change the fate of farmers.” Those who are shouting slogans in the House have not even implemented the Natural Farming Mission in Bengal. They do not value the sweat of farmers. The people of Bengal will never forgive Mamata Banerjee for this deception. Top 3 Sharp Points from the Headline: Politics of Names: Avoiding the word ‘Prime Minister’ Shivraj alleged that important schemes like ‘Pradhan Mantri Krishi Dhan Dhanya’ were not implemented in West Bengal simply because ‘Pradhan Mantri’ was attached to their name. He called it “open injustice and sin” against farmers. Vote Bank vs. Farmer’s Health The minister stated in the House that the TMC government has no concern for soil fertility and public health. Putting the Natural Farming Mission on the back burner is proof that they only want to consolidate their vote bank. Surpassed China, warehouses full Shivraj proudly stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India has surpassed China in rice production. The country’s food grain production is at a record level of 357 million tonnes. He quipped “There was a time when we used to ask for grain, today the concern is where to keep the record produce!”
