Adityanath hits out at SP for 'apathy' towards sugarcane farmers

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday accused the Samajwadi Party of apathy towards sugarcane farmers, alleging they had to kill themselves and burn their crops during the SP rule because of lack of water and electricity for irrigation and timely payment of dues.

However, Adityanath claimed the BJP government, which came to power in 2017 under his leadership, has ensured that the produce of farmers is purchased on time and their dues are cleared without delay. He claimed farmers were included in the government's agenda for the first after Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power at the Centre in 2014.

"Earlier, farmers used to commit suicide. Today, I can say in the last six years, no 'annadata' in Uttar Pradesh had to commit suicide. We have paid the sugarcane price and purchased paddy and wheat on time," he said.

Cong bandh call will not evoke response, as party itself on verge of getting shut: Karnataka CM

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said the Congress' call for a two-hour 'bandh' on March 9, as part of its fight against the ruling BJP over alleged corruption, will not get any response from the people, as the opposition party itself is on the "verge of getting bandh" (shut).

Accusing the Congress of indulging in 'rampant corruption' while in power, he claimed that the then CM Siddaramaiah had set "targets" for Ministers in his cabinet. "Congress is the well of corruption, their sins are not just one or two. Congress itself is on the verge of getting bandh, so by means of such protests and bandh they want to safeguard their political future, it won't get any response, because those who make allegations should be of clean hands, only then it will have some value," Bommai said.
