Kutch
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives at the venue of a ceremony at Dhordo near Khavda in Kutch to lay foundation stones of 30,000 megawatts hybrid renewable energy park near Khavda and four seawater desalination plants along coast of Gujarat.
PM Narendra Modi was addressing the public after laying the foundation stone for a desalination plant and a milk processing and packaging plant in Gujarat’s Kutch.
“The country is asking why small farmers who produce grains and pulses should not get freedom to sell crops. The agricultural reforms was in demand for years. Many farmers’ organisations have also demanded in advance that they should be given an option to sell food grains anywhere,” PM Modi said backing the clauses from the recently cleared laws by the government.
Blaming the Opposition, PM Modi said, “Today those who are confusing the farmers by sitting in the opposition, have supported these reforms in their time. They just kept giving false comfort to the farmers. When the country has taken these steps, they are now confusing the farmers.”
