PM Modi's Unyielding Commitment to Farmers Amid U.S. Trade Tensions

Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Bhagirath Choudhary praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts for Indian farmers, describing them as "incomparable". Highlighting initiatives like the Kisan Samman Nidhi and increased MSP, Choudhary emphasized Modi's vision to double farmers' income and bolster organic farming efforts.

Criticizing past governments, Choudhary noted that the strides made since Modi's 2014 leadership were long overdue. He accused opposition parties of neglecting farmers despite having held power multiple times, suggesting that timely action post-independence might have led to greater agricultural prosperity today.

In response to escalating U.S.-India trade tensions, with Washington doubling tariffs on Indian goods, Modi steadfastly prioritized the interests of farmers, fishermen, and dairy producers. He declared India's uncompromising stance against opening its agricultural market to U.S. pressure, as concerns about domestic livelihoods persist amid geopolitical challenges.
