Central Govt Failing Miserably in Every Area - Per Capita Income, GDP, and the Declining Value of the Rupee Against Dollar
Punjab Newsline, New Delhi/Chandigarh, February 10-
During discussion session on Budget, Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, AAP's Member of Parliament from Sangrur, cornered the Central Government for completely ignoring Punjab's farmers. Criticizing the neglect of Punjab's farmers and need for crop diversification, he demanded a special package for Sangrur’s agriculture-based industries.
In his address, Meet Hayer said that Punjab led the nation in the Green Revolution, sacrificing its air, water, and soil. Expressing concern over Punjab being completely ignored for crop diversification, Hayer demanded a special package for the state. He said that it is unfortunate that the justified demands of Punjab’s farmers, who have been protesting for over three years for the minimum support price (MSP), have not been acknowledged. He specifically sought a special package for the agriculture-related industries of Sangrur, such as the combine harvester industry of Handiaya.
Presenting statistics on the Central Government’s failures in the economic sector, Meet Hayer said that the government has miserably failed in areas like per capita income, GDP, and the depreciating value of the rupee against the dollar.
