Beginning his address, PM Modi said, “Today, more than Rs 18,000 crore has been deposited directly into the farmers’ accounts; no middleman, no commission.”
In a scathing attack on Mamata Banerjee, Modi claimed that Bengal farmers were deprived of the benefits of the Centre’s schemes. “Bengal is the only state which is not allowing the benefits of the schemes to reach the farmers,” he said.
“Mamata Banerjee’s ideology has destroyed Bengal. Her actions against the peasants have hurt me a lot. Why is the opposition silent on this?”
