PM Modi asked, “What is wrong with the country’s farmers getting so many rights? If farmers are getting the option to sell their produce online through the year and anywhere, then what is wrong with it?”

On this occasion, Prime Minister Modi also targeted the Mamta Banerjee government of West Bengal.

He said that farmers of West Bengal are not getting the benefit of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. He said, “I regret today that more than 70 lakh farmers and siblings of my West Bengal have not been able to get this benefit.” Over 23 lakh farmers of Bengal have applied online to take advantage of this scheme. But the state government has stopped the verification process for so long.”
