Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be engaging with farmers on the anniversary of the birth of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on 25 December, the BJP said, adding that the party will organise “kisan samvad” in over 2,500 locations in Uttar Pradesh.
The party claimed in a statement released on Saturday that it had stepped up its preparations for it. UP BJP President Swatantra Dev Singh and party leader Radha Mohan Singh held a virtual meeting in this regard with party officials from parts of the province. Radha Mohan Singh said the Narendra Modi-led government is committed to the welfare of the poor and the peasants.
“Had the amount of welfare done by the Modi Government been done in the past, the condition of farmers would have been better,” Mr Singh said.
He accused the opposition parties of spreading disinformation about the proposed farm legislation.
