Jammu, August 27 (Scoop News) – BJP National Secratry Kisan Morcha, Incharge Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab Government Vice chairman, PSIEC Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal accused that the UPA government is giving a step-motherly treatment to farmers in the country and claimed that peasants’ debt was increasing due to its "wrong" policies. Talking with the media persons here today Grewal alleged that Congress was "looting" the people and that the government led by it could not protect the interests of farmers. "Till there is Congress government, suicides by farmers will go on, prices of fertilisers will keep on rising. Farmers won’t get interest-free loans. Congress is looting the people. Government cannot protect farmers cannot provide justice to them. Farmers are under debt because of UPA’s Government. Grewal demanded that subsidy should be given to the farmers directly through their accounts just as it is being done in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh. He said that There should be a review of subsidy policy and we demand rollback of prices of fertilisers. Minimum Support Price (MSP) should be increased for farmers’ produce. UPA policies have been always anti-farmer. Grewal said that they cannot give interest-free loans where as in BJP-ruled states like Karnataka and MP, there is no interest and in Chhattisgarh, it is one per cent. He said, "We can only become a super power if India becomes the ‘agri capital’ of the world. UPA government is adopting a step motherly treatment towards farmers. Grewal said that every month farmers commit suicide. Since Congress took over, prices have increased for everything. Grewal stressed that the fight for farmers will continue from Road to Parliament and the movement started from Jantar-Mantar will be expanded to each and every villages of India.
