Raipur, May 24, 2013
Congress on Friday said chief minister Raman Singh had
once again resorted to his old formula of deceiving farmers by promising them
to give paddy bonus every year.
“The government’s so-called vikas yatra is
full of false promises. The CM is using this yatra to deceive the farmers again
by announcing that his government would distribute paddy bonus every year,”
said Congress spokesperson Sushil Anand Shukla.
“The BJP had promised to give Rs 270 paddy
bonus to farmers every year during 2008 assembly elections. After winning the
polls, it refused to fulfill its promise and said that it had talked of giving
paddy bonus of only one year. Still, the farmers did not get full bonus amount,
i.e. Rs 270 per quintal of paddy that year. Recently, the government announced
to give the bonus for the current year to take political mileage before
elections,” he said.
“If the CM is really well-wisher of the
farmers then he should instantly distribute pending paddy bonus of four years,
i.e. Rs 3880 crore,” he added.
He said whether the BJP government
fulfills its promise made to the farmers or not but the Congress would surely
distribute paddy bonus every year if it comes to power.
