Farmers upset due to discriminatory attitude of Modi government

 Modi government, friendly government of capitalists, not farmers

abernews Raipur.  State Congress Communication Department President Shailesh Nitin Trivedi has blamed the Modi government for the fertilizer crisis in Chhattisgarh and said that the Modi government is not friendly to the farmers, poor and laborers, but to the capitalists and corporate houses.  The biggest proof of this is that three new agricultural laws were made in the field of agriculture to make farmers the slaves of corporate houses and capitalists.  All the three agricultural laws have been made keeping in mind the interest of corporate houses and capitalists.  Due to which hoarding, profiteering will be encouraged and legal protection will be given.  By making provision for contact farming through new agricultural laws, the Modi government is preparing to make farmers the slaves of capitalists.  Farmers all over the country are opposing it.  Farmers have been agitating in the border areas of the country's capital Delhi for several months, but the louse is not crawling on the ears of the central government.  Instead of understanding the pain and suffering of the Annadata farmer brothers of the country, the Central Government is constantly trying to crush their opposition.  This act of the government proves that farmers, poor, laborers do not matter to him.  It wants to remain in power with the help of capitalists and corporate houses.

Chhattisgarh state needs 1.50 lakh metric tonnes.  As on July 13, 2021, only 72 thousand metric tonnes of fertilizers have been received, which is only 48 percent of the demand.  In this way, the state of Chhattisgarh has been supplied only 6 lakh one thousand tonnes of all types of chemical fertilizers as on July 13, which is only 51 percent of our total demand.  Due to the short supply of chemical fertilizers, there is a shortage of manure in the state.  The quantity of chemical fertilizers received so far by the state for Kharif season this year is almost half as compared to the quantity received in the last six years.  In Kharif season 2015, 9.81 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers were supplied by the fertilizer suppliers against the state's demand of 11 lakh metric tonnes, which was 89 percent of the demand.  Similarly, in Kharif 2016 season, 8.25 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers were supplied against the demand of 10.40 lakh metric tonnes of chemical fertilizers, which was 79 percent of the demand.  In the Kharif season 2017, 72 percent of the demand for fertilizers, 73 percent of the demand in Kharif season 2018, 80 percent of the demand in Kharif season 2019 and 10.04 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers against the demand of 11.30 lakh metric tonnes in Kharif season 2020.  , which was 89 percent of the demand.
