Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday asked the BJP government to explain how it would double the income of farmers before 2022. Referring to the BJP’s election manifesto and promises made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other party leaders that farm income would be doubled by 2022, Mr. Yadav wondered how the income of farmers had increased when the agrarian community was battling higher costs due to rise in price of pesticides and other essentials and inflation. “The people and the farmers want to know what is the income of the farmers today,” Mr. Yadav asked at a press conference.More Related News
