Saharanpur, Addressing the National Executive Meeting at the BKU office, National President of Bharatiya Kisan Union Verma and West Pradesh Mukti Morcha Bhagat Singh Verma said that despite India being an agricultural country, even after 77 years of independence, due to the indifference and anti-farmer policies of the leaders sitting in Delhi, the country's food provider farmers are surrounded by economic crisis. In an agricultural country, due to the anti-farmer policies of the big leaders sitting in Delhi Lutyens Zone, the country's food provider farmers are forced to commit suicide due to debt and are forced to live a life of deprivation. National President Bhagat Singh Verma said that in the 77 years since independence, the governments have not been able to provide the farmers of the country with even the cost price, let alone the remunerative price of their crops. If the farmers of the country had received even the cost price of their crops, then today the farmers of the country would have received 50 lakh crore rupees, but today the farmers of the country, despite making the country self-sufficient in food grains, have become indebted to the tune of 24 lakh crore rupees, which was only 1 lakh crore rupees in the year 2000. Bhagat Singh Verma said that the BJP leaders and Prime Minister Modi himself had said that we will double the income of the farmers of the country by the year 2022, but it has not doubled, the debt has certainly increased 24 times. The farmers are not even able to bear the expensive burden of education of their children. Bhagat Singh Verma said that to make the country progressive and developing, Prime Minister Modi should end all the debts of the country's food-providing farmers, ensure that farmers get a profitable price for their crops, provide labourers to farmers by linking MNREGA scheme directly to farming, make MSP a guaranteed law, end GST on tractors, agricultural machinery, fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, save farmers' farming from stray and unruly animals, provide free education and medical treatment to the children of farmers, labourers and poor people of the country, sugarcane is the economic backbone of not only Uttar Pradesh but the country. Keeping in view the increasing cost, sugarcane farmers should be given a profitable price of ₹ 700 per quintal in cash, which can be easily given to sugarcane farmers of Uttar Pradesh and the country. Bhagat Singh Verma said that Uttar Pradesh, being a big state, is in the grip of poverty, inflation, corruption, unemployment, hooliganism and disorder. Therefore, a separate West Pradesh should be created by forming a State Reorganization Commission and dividing Uttar Pradesh into four parts. On the creation of a separate West Pradesh, everyone will get employment here and farmers will get a profitable price for their crops. While conducting the meeting, National Spokesperson of Bhartiya Kisan Union, Dr. Ashok Malik said that the solution to all the problems is to create a separate West Pradesh. Dr. Ashok Malik said that the government has installed toll plaza barriers all around Saharanpur. It is difficult for the common man and the poor to walk on the roads. Therefore, Prime Minister Modi should immediately abolish the toll tax. Because the Central Government already collects road tax and a huge amount of excise duty from cars and all vehicles.
