National Secretary Bjaratiya Janata Kishan Morcha Arnab Chatterjee who also holds the post of state Prabhari today appealed the government to include the farmers among the beneficiaries of social welfare allowances.
“Several occasions the Kisan Morcha delegates had apprised the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include farmers under a social welfare scheme and also communicated to the Chief Ministers. And the day is not far ahead when the farmers of the country will get a financial aid from the government under the able-leadership of Prime Minister Modi”, he claimed at Amarpur today.
The town Amarpur which today hosted the first ever biggest get-to-gather of Kisan Morcha left its mark with grand presence of farmers.
Later on addressing the gathering BJP General Secretary (Organization) Rajib Bhattacharjee said, the state government is tending to create a self-sufficient atmosphere giving more and more authority to the farmers. And it will surely benefit the entire farmer fraternity with countless welfare schemes.
He also appealed the people to extend their belief to the government that could strengthen the further democratic institution.
On the other hand, state president of Kisan Morcha, Jahar Saha claimed, there is a deep rooted conspiracy theory to tarnish the government. A huge number of people who were associated with mafia, illicit liquor business and drug mafia are today in the run up to infiltrate in the party and the authentic party members should have to have aware of such threat.
Moreover, MLA Rampada Jamatia, MLA Ranjit Das and also the subdivision and district level leaders spoke during the occasion. However, on a serious note, the absence of a lion’s share of local leaders somehow affected the big-ticket gathering in a nutshell.
