“Government should provide coconuts to people along with Pongal package. If not, in the first week of next January, Tamil Nadu BJP. “On behalf of the agriculture team, we will hold a protest to provide free coconuts to the general public,” BJP’s agriculture team state president GK Nagaraj said.
On behalf of the party’s agricultural team, a training workshop on central government schemes for state administrators was held in Erode on the 29th. Nagaraj, who initiated it, later said, “Chief Minister Stalin has started to get scared of the BJP. We are constantly exposing the government’s shortcomings and mistakes. The BJP agriculture team first protested to procure sugarcane from farmers for Pongal. The Chief Minister has announced that he will now purchase. A sugarcane costs Rs. 35 to be purchased. DMK should not buy sugarcane only from the plantation as they did last year. Purchase from all farmers without party discrimination.
Similarly, for a long time, coconut did not get a fair price. So the government should also purchase coconuts and provide them with the Pongal package. If the government does not do so, the BJP will start a protest to distribute free coconuts to the public in Tamil Nadu in the first week of January. conduct.
Tanjore is a rice granary in our state. Paddy should be purchased here. But it seems they have decided to purchase in Punjab. We assume that this may be purely for the sake of earning commission. Farmers in Annur are benefiting under the Joint Farming Scheme. There, 117 ponds will be benefited under Athikadavu Avinasi project. AIADMK has about 1000 acres of land there. It seems that the Sipkot Industrial Estate project was announced to take away that land and there is an intention to give it to someone.
If the Chipkat Industrial Estate is set up in Annur, the water of the nearby Bhavanisagar Dam will be polluted. So we oppose this proposal. Similarly, it seems that farmers’ land is going to be acquired for Parantur Airport. BJP had a big protest for this. BJP is not always an enemy of development work. But, farmers should not suffer. If one acre is taken from a farmer, he should be given two acres of land to cultivate. Athikadavu Avinashi project is 99% complete. Only 70 meters long pipe line should be laid. BJP has already protested on this. The chief minister said the project would be completed soon. Minister Muthuswamy says it will end on January 15. If the scheme is not launched on January 15, the BJP will stage a massive protest.
The central government has not reduced its share in the crop insurance scheme. But the crop insurance scheme has not been properly implemented in the state itself. The central government is raising the minimum resource price. That is why the production of small grains has increased by 45 percent. Bhavanisagar main canal has broken four times this year. A breach near Perundurai caused the concrete at the base of the canal to break. This is due to the water resources department not maintaining the canal properly. The Water Resources Department does not maintain the canal properly. That’s why it breaks down from time to time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is implementing various schemes like Prime Minister’s Crop Insurance, Rs 6000 annually to farmers, small grains, promotion of organic farming, agricultural infrastructure, neem mixed urea, Kisan Credit Card scheme. However, the state government is implementing these schemes as per its plan. Pointing this out, the meeting is being held to create awareness among the people about the Prime Minister’s plans,” he said.
