Chandigarh 16th July:- Dr. Ashok Tanwar, former M.P., President, Haryana Pradesh
Congress Committee has said that the CM Manohar Lal Khattar Government has
become habitual in announcing new schemes every day to befuddle the people of
Haryana without caring about the status of the earlier announcements made by
the Government from time to time. He said that the information given by the
Agriculture Minister to the Media is merely a bundle of lies nothing else.
This was said by Dr. Tanwar while referring to an announcement
made by Om Parkash Dhankhar, Agriculture Minister to the media in Chandigarh on
Monday regarding a project of “Floriculture” to be started at Gurgaon, He said
that the Ministers of Khattar Government are in the habit of making
announcements which have no base and are merely “jumlas” to mislead the
people. The decision of the Government regarding floriculture was also
announced four years earlier but nothing had come on the ground. It is clear
that in view of the impending elections, this repeat announcement has been made
by Om Parkash Dhankhar. He said that three year earlier in Agro-Summit at
Gurgaon, the Agriculture Minister had announced regarding setting-up of
“Agro-Fresh” aimed to supply fresh vegetables in the State but that scheme has
also not seen the light of the day and has remained on paper only.
Questioning the foreign trips of the Chief Minister Manohar Lal
Khattar and Agriculture Minister OP Dhankhar, Dr. Ashok Tanwar said that under
the garb of improving the life standard of the farmers, the foreign jolts take
place. Both the Chief Minister and Agriculture Minister should disclose
publically how many farmers have benefitted from their tours of Israel and London
in improving the agricultural practices by the farmers. Had these tours done
any benefit to the Haryana farmers they would not have resorted to agitations
for fulfilling their demands.
Dr. Tanwar said that Khattar Government is boasting to be
pro-farmer, but the fact is that the crops of the farmers lie in the markets
for days on waiting for sale. If anyway the sale is made the farmers wait for
the payment for long time. The case of sale of rape seed crop is a fresh
example of the negligence of the State Government towards the farmers. Dr.
Ashok Tanwar said that it is a pity that the most tomtommed scheme of crop
insurance has not benefitted the farmers of Hayana but it has benefitted more
to the Insurance Companies.
Dr. Ashok Tanwar said that the BJP Governments at the Centre and
in Haryana are misleading the farmers by jumlas like increased
MSP. But the fact is that during the BJP regime, the number of progressive
farmers in Haryana has come down drastically and the Government has avoided to
release the list of progressive farmers as was done yearly earlier. The
number of progressive farmers had increased considerably during the Congress
rule and they were encouraged to adopt new techniques but the BJP Govt. has
replaced all this with false and misleading jumlas.
He said that the announcement of 50% plus MSP to be given to the
farmers for the crops is just another cruel joke with the farmers as this
calculation done by the Modi Government is merely fictitious and misleading.
This announcement in fact is just a false promise like other false promises
made by the BJP to the people in view of the impending elections.
