Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said the country’s growth cannot be imagined without the development of farmers and villages, and asserted that the Modi government was standing shoulder to shoulder with the cultivators.

Addressing a mega farmers’ rally at Government Science College ground in Chhattisgarh’s capital Raipur, he also targeted the previous Congress dispensation in the state, accusing it of indulging in corruption and derailing its development. “…I am the son of a farmer and hail from a village. Farmers can yield gold from the soil with their efforts and hard work. My government is standing shoulder to shoulder with farmers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Centre has been taking several steps for the welfare of farmers,” the minister said.

“In America, one bag of urea fertilisers is available for Rs 3,000…India is the only where urea is being provided to farmers at Rs 300 per bag.

We will not allow the problems of farmers to increase at any cost,” he added.

Hitting out at the previous Bhupesh Baghel-led government in the state, Singh said, the Congress regime destroyed the state in five years.

“Now I firmly believe that the Vishnu Deo Sai-led BJP government will bring the state back on the track of development with the support of people,” he said.
