Chandigarh: After accusing the Congress Government in Punjab triggered the riot of farmers in his state, Head of the Head of Harmana Manohar Lal Khattar registered several steps taken by the BJP state for farmers, and asked what the Amarinder Singh government had done compared to comparison.
“Dear @capt_amarinder Ji, Haryana 10 plants in MSP-Paddy, wheat, mustard, Bajra, grams, moong, corn, peanuts, sunflowers, cotton and make MSP payments directly to farmer accounts.
How many plants purchased by punjab from Farmers in MSP? “Khattar asked his Punjab colleague on one of His tweets.
He also said that Haryana had paid the highest MSP in this country for sugar cane for farmers for the past seven years.
“Why does Punjab feel the need to match Haryana only after agitation by farmers?,” He asked referring to Singh approved the increase in Rs 15 per quintal in the price (SAP) of all sugar cane varieties for the destructive season 2021-22 a week ago.
Khattar on Monday accused the Government of Congress in Punjab triggered the riot of farmers in his country, pushing sharp response from Singh.
Exchange has occurred two days after farmers protested Agri law imposed by the center of clashes with Haryana police in Karnal.
Singh has returned a little later, accusing BJP, including Haryana CM, taking the shelter of “Hammer Lies” for “terrible attacks” to the farmers who protested.
“Revoking the agricultural law instead of blaming punjab for party chaos you have placed the agricultural sector,” Singh said in a statement.
A few hours later, Khattar, a tweet series, said that the welfare measures taken by the government for farmers, also said that Haryana gave an incentive RS 7,000 per acre to every farmer who wanted to stay away from rice cultivation.
“What incentives are given by farmers?” He asked.
Khattar also said that Haryana paid interest at 12 percent for farmers if payment was postponed exceeding 72 hours from approval.
“Does Punjab pay interest on payment delayed?” Haryana pays an incentive of Rs 5,000 per acre to farmers who adopt a direct seeding of rice technology, said Khattar, asking Singh, “what incentives are given by Punjab?” He also mentioned that Haryana paid every farmer of Rs 1,000 per Acre for stump management and gave a connection to the sale of rice straw and tried to find out from Singh “what incentives were given to farmers?” He also said that Haryana had started a micro irrigation scheme to support farmers with subsidies of 85 percent to manage valuable water for irrigation.
“What incentives are given by Punjab, and whether it is even worried about the thinning water table quickly that it will finish the farmer?” He asked.
Khattar said that Haryana supports farmers who grow horticulture products by institutionalizing “Bhawantar Bharpayee Yojana” to isolate farmers from variations in prices below costs.
“What incentives are given by punjab to horticulture farmers?” Asked Khattar.
