Modi wonders whether UPA will respond to Pawar’s plea


Ahmedabad, 12 April 2012

Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi today backed the issues raised in central Agriculture Sharad Pawar’s note to Prime Minister.

Shri Modi tweeted, “UPA ignores our repeated please against anti-farmer policies. Wonder if they will respond to their own Agriculture Minister.”

With this Shri Modi gave a link directed to a PTI story on Sharad Pawar’s angry note to PM.

Irked by curbs on milk, cotton and sugar exports, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar has sent a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stating that the government’s policies are hurting farmers who are being asked to subsidise the industry.
