"Wherever you go, it is 'Modi Modi', you go to America, England, Dubai and France, at all these places people chant 'Modi'. And Congress also does 'Modi Modi'. They do not see anybody else. In their dreams at night they see only Modi," Chouhan said, addressing a function at Sherpur village to felicitate the Prime Minister for launching the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima (crop insurance) Yojna.
The Centre had released Rs 2,000 crore for drought-relief in Madhya Pradesh, Chouhan noted.
The Chief Minister claimed that the crop insurance scheme launched by the UPA government was a failure because of several deficiencies. For instance, compensation was paid only if the crops in the entire tehsil were affected.
The insurance under the new scheme would be paid even if a single farmer is affected, he said.
During the function, Prime Minister Modi handed 'soil health cards' to three farmers. He also launched 'margadarshak pustika' (guide booklet) on crop insurance scheme.
