Ramesh then recalled the words of the Chairman, who holds a constitutional post, to the minister to speak to farmers on MSP Chairman Dhankhar said he had travelled with the agriculture minister and was assured of his commitment towards farmers.”The minister was with me while going and coming back.I told the minister and was assured that the person who was known as ‘ladli’ will become ‘kisan ka ladla’ too.I am hopeful that the ‘urjawan’ (energetic) minister, synonymous with his name ‘Shivraj’, will make this happen,” Dhankhar said.”I have named you as ‘Kisan ke ladle’. I would have been happy had there been any adjournment motion from Jairam Ramesh, but it did not come,” he said. Asked by RJD MP Manoj Kumar Jha on whether the government was considering setting up a farm loan waiver framework, the minister said the government is working towards increasing farmers’ income instead.”We believe in increasing the income of farmers and this government is continuously working towards that,” he said.”Modi ji’s government works with farsightedness. We will increase production, reduce cost of production, provide remunerative prices for the produce, provide compensation in case of loss of produce, will bring diversification in agriculture, turn towards natural farming and ensure that farmers income increases so much that they are not in a position to seek any farm loan waiver,” Chouhan said.
