In Today’s Press Meet by Gujarat Congress Unit at Ahmedabad by President Arjun Modhwadia, Shaktisinh Gohil, Shakersinh Vaghela and Siddharth Patel present some details about situation of farmers in Gujarat .
Gujarat Congress said that PM Narendra Modi during his pre-election campaign himself has tweeted that our farmers are working very hard they should get proper price for their produce. GPCC conveyed during Karnataka campaign Modi said that we will work for betterment of farmers, so please vote me. During another campaign he admitted that half of the production cost should be fixed as MSP (Minimum Support Price) for farmers. Even, in BJP’s election manifesto they have stated that this country cannot progress without growth in agriculture sector.
Gujarat CM or PM were inclined to Businessmen and shown reluctance over issues of farmers. They have not tried to know why farmers in Gujarat are commiting suicide. Earlier, farmer was considered as father of nation, but now he is helpless. They are offered Rs 800-900 as MSP for their produce which is not sufficient.
GPCC leaders warned of stern actions about Gujarat farmers and will approach Gujarat CM.
