BJP government in Uttar Pradesh is very important to ensure small farmers keep on availing benefits of PM Kisan Yojana, PM Modi added. “We’re working on a permanent solution for sugarcane farmers. To tackle ups and downs of the sugar market, sugarcane will also be used to produce ethanol. Rs 12,000 crore has been earned from sugarcane-based ethanol, which is providing safety to sugarcane farmers,” PM Modi stated.
The PM also hit out at the Congress party for making hollow promises to the electorate of the state.
He pointed out that the ‘Teen Talaq’ ban brought in by the NDA government at the Centre has ensured justice for Muslim women.
“A whole ‘parivaar-vaad’ party is making fake promises to the UP public. Remember, if someone promises big, those are usually empty, irresponsible promises. They promised electricity but kept UP in dark and illuminated their residing district. They left Saharanpur and other districts to fend for themselves,” Modi said in a scathing attack on the Gandhi family.
