Previous governments withheld cane payment of farmers:Yogi
Baghpat (UP), Apr 5 (UNI) Attacking the opposition parties Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said that unlike previous governments where payment of sugarcane to farmers was delayed for prolonged periods extending from five to 10 years, today payments are being made to them within a week.
Addressing the Vijay Shankhnad rally held at Gateway International School grounds, the Chief Minister expressed his honour in visiting the revered land of the eminent son of the soil and former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh. He underscored the significance of the upcoming elections, particularly in light of Chaudhary Charan Singh being posthumously conferred with India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat
Ratna, as a champion of farmers’ causes.
He commended Prime Minister Modi for acknowledging and incorporating the values and principles of Chaudhary Charan Singh into the political discourse, implementing welfare schemes for the benefit of farmers, thereby honouring millions of farmers and instilling pride in the people of Uttar Pradesh.
Yogi made the remarks while seeking votes in favour of the joint candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) Dr Rajkumar Sangwan.
Describing Baghpat as the land of heroes and freedom fighters, he emphasised its historical significance since the Mahabharata era, whether the seeds of resistance against injustice and oppression were sown. “Baghpat was among the five villages sought by Lord Krishna for the Pandavas during his visit to the court of Hastinapur five millennia ago. Duryodhana couldn’t even give the five villages and forfeited society’s blessings, culminating in the war,” he said.
The Chief Minister said, “The upcoming elections in Baghpat are slated for April 26 for which BJP and RLD have jointly fielded a competent candidate.”
He thanked RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary for nominating an ordinary man from Baghpat, Dr Rajkumar Sangwan, who embodies the values championed by Chaudhary Charan Singh.
Drawing attention to the incumbent MP, Dr Satyapal Singh, Yogi noted his unwavering dedication to Baghpat’s development. “Upon assuming office, he swiftly navigated developmental initiatives through bureaucratic channels in record time,” he said.
Highlighting Baghpat’s strategic connectivity via five highways and the effective implementation of the Har Ghar Nal Yojana, he assured prompt payment of sugarcane prices within a week, a departure from the prolonged waiting periods of the past.
Pointing out the imperative of development for securing a prosperous future for upcoming generations, the CM highlighted the collaborative efforts of RLD and BJP as essential for Baghpat’s progress. He criticized previous administrations for neglecting Baghpat’s youth, who were left disenfranchised despite their aspirations for government employment.
Yogi emphasized the rapid strides India has made under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, elevating the nation’s global stature and ensuring safety for its citizens. He hailed the eradication of terrorism and Naxalism, emphasising the improved security for women, entrepreneurs and businesses, coupled with a conducive environment for trade and investment.
