She said that Kashmir situation reflects the biggest failure of the Centre and State Government to handle the situation, which is worst in many ways then in the nineties. She said that lack of any clear policy towards Kashmir and Pakistan is the biggest failures of Modi Government. The border situation is worst during all these years with Pakistan indulging in all sorts of violations and violence.
While concentrating mainly on the performance and policies of the Government towards agriculture sector and plight of farmers and the common man due to sky rocketing prices, she questioned where are the promised two crore jobs opportunities annually for the youth, where is the bullet train, where are the smart cities but still the BJP claims of big achievements. On the issue of farmers, she said that 62% of our population is farmer but they are distressed as the number of suicides have increased. Against 12,360 farmer suicides in 2014, there were 12602 suicides in 2015 while it was expected to touch around 14,000 in 2016, as 35 farmers commit Suicide every day. While loan worth Rs 1,54,000 crores of big businessmen were written off, the Modi Government has refused to farm loan waiver.
AICC leader said that PM Fasal Bima Yojana benefitted the private companies and not the farmers, as premium paid to companies is many times more than compensation paid to farmers. She quoted figures and said during Kharief 2016 Rs 17184.79 crores premium was paid to companies while only Rs 6808.48 crores compensation was paid to farmers, thus benefitting the companies to the tune of Rs 10376 crores.
Based on these inputs and official data, she questioned where is the scope for celebrations and high spending on the Modi Govt’s three years achievement and blamed it of trying to mislead the masses to hide its failures.
