Modis Rythu Bandhu: Rs 17 Per Day - Rs 3 Per Head!
X
NDA Government announced Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme while presenting the Union Budget 2019 to woo the farmers ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha Polls.

Here comes the reaction of Congress President Rahul Gandhi on the Union Budget what he calls as Aakhri Jumla Budget: 'Dear NoMo, 5 years of your incompetence and arrogance has destroyed the lives of our farmers. Giving them Rs 17 a day is an insult to everything they stand and work for'.

CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury described the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme as a joke. He analyses, 'Rs 6,000 per Year to a farmer family of five is nothing more than Rs 3 per day per head for a five member family. Union Budget is full of data manipulation and false promises’.

NDA Government assured to pay Rs 6,000 per farmer who have less than 5 acres of land. Better if Opposition Leaders focussed how much Rs 1,200 per acre could help farmers rather than saying it's Rs 17 per day or Rs 3 for a family of five. Opposition should have brought the argument that money sponsored by government won't be enough for even 50 percent of seeds or fertilisers.
