Nadda trashes past crop insurance schemes

Hanumangarh: BJP chief JP Nadda on Friday said the farmers were cheated in the name of crop insurance scheme in the past. He said more than 11 crore farmers, including 77 lakh from Rajasthan, are currently associated with the Centre’s Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. He was addressing a farmers’ gathering convened by a Sikh organisation here. “The crop insurance scheme was there earlier also, but the farmers used to get cheated in the name of it.... They were tricked,” Nadda said.

BJP President JP Nadda whil addressing a farmers’ gathering convened by a Sikh organisation in Hanumangarh district, mentioned about the 1984 Sikh riots, saying, “Those people didn’t go to jail after so many years, but the Modi govt has put all of them behind bars. “All political parties have only done politics with Sikh brothers, except PM Modi. Big slogans used to be coined earlier in the name of farmers but if anyone has really worked to bring changes on the ground for them, it is PM Modi. State President Satish Poonia, Dy LoP Rajendra Rathore, MP Nihalchand Meghwal, exminister GS Brar, Surendra Pal Singh TT, Dr Rampratap and others were present.

Taking a jibe at State govt, Nadda said that it only does magic & nothing in reality. Without naming Rahul, he said that one of their leaders had said in Hanumangarh, count till ten & the loan will be forgiven, what happened to that promise?
