PM Modi addresses 'Kisan Kalyan Rally' in UP, assures direct benefits for sugarcane farmers

Shahjahanpur, UP, July 21 (IBNS): Continuing his farmers' rally across the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday addressed a 'Kishan Kalyan Rally' in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur assuring support for the sugarcane farmers.

Addressing the rally, Modi said his government respect farmers and would see all benefits reach them.

'Our government has decided that sugarcane farmers of the country will get about 80% direct benefit over the cost of the cane. The increase of Rs 200 to Rs 1800 has not been done in any government's history of 14 crops of paddy, maize, pulses and oils,' he said.

He said some sugarcane farmers had come to meet him a few days ago and he told them that sugarcane farmers will soon be able to hear a good news and 'I have come to Shahjahanpur to fulfill the promise:'

"Our constant endeavor is that every single penny of the sugarcane farmer arrives at that time. The old governments that had kept the alliances for decades have been breaking up. The previous governments which had left the balance of thousands of crores were disposed of within a fixed time frame," he claimed.

Modi has been visiting various states of late to address the farmers.

On July 16, Modi addressed a similar rally in the West Midnapur district of West Bengal.

Two days prior to his West Bengal visit, the PM had visited Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh to lay the foundation for the 340-km Purvanchal Expressway.

The BJP had gained the maximum number of seats from UP in the last Lok Sabha elections, which were held fours years ago.

The saffron outfit and its allies had won 73 out of 80 parliamentary seats in the state, routing then Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP).

Modi is also the Lok Sabha MP from the Varanasi constituency of the state.
