Gurugram: All governments must “give priority” to the welfare of farmers and keep space for open dialogue with them, Venkaiiah Naidu vice president said on Sunday.
He added that the problem of farmers should not be mixed with politics.
Naidu is in town to launch five volumes of Sir Chhotu RAM: writing and speech, which is based on life, work and principles of Deenbandhu Sir Chhottu RAM.
When talking at the event, he referred to protest by farmers, which has been going on for almost 10 months now.
“All governments must focus and give priority to farmers, their welfare.
I am not talking about politics, dialogue must always continue between the government and farmers.
The problem of farmers should not be associated with politics.
If you mix it with politics …
there will be a division.
Politics has come, you see what happens, “Naidu said.
He also emphasized the needs of people to be ready for “change” and “new ideas”.
“In the political field, political roots must be respected.
In Manifesto, what they want to do, what they will do must be clearly written.
After that, it must be assessed …
but we must always be ready to change, new ideas , “he said.
Naidu talks about the need to change the country to “one food zone”, with an open market system where farmers can sell their plants anywhere.
This, he said, will stop the exploitation of the farmer community.
“It is the interest of the state and also for the benefit of farmers …
this is very important because 50% of the people in the country depend on agriculture even today …
help farmers is everyone’s work, and everyone must get out of Politics and focus more on these topics, “he said.
The vice president described the agriculture as an “basic culture” of India and “our economic backbone”, said it helped spread “tradition”.
“Agriculture is our basic culture, traditionally agriculture into the backbone of our economy.
It has become an effort of every government to improve the condition of farmers’ life and provide remunerative prices for various crafts.
Our village does not only produce food grains for us but also circulates Sanskara We among our children, our values ​​and traditions, “Naidu said.
“This is very important because at present, we see a decrease in standard, decreases values ​​in politics, in public life, in academic life, in the legislature, in parliament, everywhere.
This must be set again,” he said.
Apart from the agriculture, the vice president also emphasized the importance of Hindi, without him, he said, “It is impossible to advance in India”.
“More than the importance of language, I talked about the fact that more people know, talk and read this language.
That’s why this language is very important.
Even when I go to Chennai, I tell the people there, ‘Don’t oppose the language, Try to learn it ‘.
Yes, English is important.
But first of all, learn your mother …
If you want to meet people in India, tell them your sentiment, you have to learn the language too, “he said .
