Holding the Union government responsible for the sorry state of farmers and agriculture in the country, Chief Minister Narendra Modi today claimed that despite the "injustice", Gujarat farmers have excelled with record agri and dairy production.
"The Central government has ruined farmers and the agriculture sector in the country with its anti-farmer policies. It has also mislead the farmers who will never forgive them," Modi alleged while speaking at a function here.
"Despite the Centre's injustice and wrongdoings, Gujarat has achieved record production in agriculture and dairy industry," he claimed.
"In the past 40 years, the governments that were in power snatched fertile land from Ankleshwar to Vapi in south Gujarat to make way for industries. Whereas the present government has set up industries in the coastal areas and on arid land which has led to prosperity of the people of those regions," Modi said.
