Priyanka Gandhi lying, MP farmers being given Rs 12,000: CM Chouhan

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday targeted Congress general secretary Priyanka Vadra Gandhi over the latter's claim that farmers were unable to make Rs 27 per day, saying growers in the state are being given Rs 12,000. I would like to say that Rs 6,000 from the prime minister and Rs 6,000 from me are being directly deposited into the bank accounts of farmers. Don't tell such a lie that it can't be stomached, he told reporters here. The CM, however, did not specify whether the money was being deposited into the farmers' accounts monthly or yearly. Farmers got loans at 18 per cent (interest) during the Congress rule. We are giving them loans at zero per cent. She said that the daily income of a farmer was just Rs 27 a day, he said. Addressing a Jan Aakrosh' rally in Gwalior on Friday, Gandhi, without naming anyone, said that the Centre was handing over the country's wealth to two businessmen, one of whom she claimed earned Rs 1,600 crore per day, while a

Oppn coming together as they can't fight against Modi alone: MP CM Chouhan

Opposition parties are coming together as they cannot fight the electoral battle against "superhuman" Prime Minister Narendra Modi alone and are unable to match the work he has done on the ground, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Saturday. Speaking to PTI on the sidelines of an event of his government's flagship 'Ladli Behna' scheme here, the CM also said the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) will win over 200 seats in the forthcoming assembly polls. The state has 230 assembly seats and elections are to be held later this year. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is one of the most popular leaders in the world. Wherever he goes, people greet him with love and pride (unki jai jai hoti hai). You have seen this in the US." "The opposition parties cannot match his development and welfare initiatives and the work he does on the ground," Chouhan said. "People wonder how can one person be so complete and hence I say Modiji is a superhuman." Chouhan said the country and the

In 18 yrs, 22k announcements of CM Chouhan remain unfulfilled, claims Nath

Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath on Friday said 22,000 announcements of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the last 18 years remain unfulfilled and alleged corruption had hollowed out the state. Speaking to reporters, Nath said Chouhan was making announcement at double speed ahead of Assembly polls, likely to be held at the end of the year. Chouhan has been chief minister of the state since November 2005, except for a brief period between December 2018 and March 2020. "Probably, he (Chouhan) is thinking that by making announcements, all his sins will be washed away. Corruption, like termites, has eaten up the state. They (Bharatiya Janata Party government) have made the state hollow in all spheres, be it education, health, employment, law and order," Nath alleged. MP has a debt of Rs 3.30 lakh crore and the state government was now forced to borrow just to pay interest. The borrowings are not used for development, but to award contracts and obtaining commission on
