‘Shivraj is the darling of the country, also of the farmers…’ Chairman Dhankhar praised in the Rajya Sabha amid the farmers’ movement.


Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar had taken on Union Agriculture Minister and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan on the issue of farmers’ movement two days ago. Now the Chairman’s mood seemed to have changed and he dated Shivraj.

Farmers are once again agitating and trying to come to Delhi. Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar praised Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

When the issue of farmers gathered at the Shambhu border was raised in the Rajya Sabha, the Chairman said that Shivraj Singh Chouhan is the darling of the country and I have full confidence that he will become the darling of the farmers too. Will work as per your name.

Responding to the Congress’ stand, the Chairman said that I would have been happy if Jairam Ramesh had brought an adjournment motion and discussed the farmers’ issue.

Let me tell you that the Minister (Shivraj Singh Chouhan) was with me while coming and going and I am sure that the person who was known as ‘Laadla’ in the country, will be the ‘Laadla’ of the farmers too. I had hoped that Jairam Ramesh would ask questions and would have liked that an adjournment motion would also come on the farmers’ issue, but it did not come. – Jagdeep Dhankhar, Rajya Sabha Chairman

Shivraj Singh gave statement in Rajya Sabha

After this, Shivraj Singh Chauhan gave a statement in the Rajya Sabha on the issue of farmers. He said that the Modi government is committed to the welfare of farmers. We have purchased crops at MSP. 101 crops have been kept in this category. In 2004, MSP worth Rs 7 lakh 31 crore was purchased. This figure has increased to 31 crore 20 lakh in 2014. The Union Agriculture Minister assured that the government will leave no stone unturned for the welfare of the farmers.

Farmers’ struggle to march to Delhi

Meanwhile, farmers from Punjab have gathered at the Haryana-Delhi border. Farmers have not been allowed to move beyond the Shambhu border. The police have blocked the entire route. After this, farmer organizations say that they want to go to Delhi on foot. This should be allowed.

The situation remains tense at Shambhu border. Tear gas shells have been released to stop the farmers. Internet is closed in many villages of Ambala.
