Many people here opposes the loan waiver for farmers by Manmohan Singh. If we neglect agriculture we loose significance in the world. Thereby, economic strength will be lost. We have already experienced scarcity of wheat in the past and today or tomorrow the same problem may be faced by rice. In the name of Special Economic Zones, we are patronising industrialists who are offering very few jobs to the local youth. Instead, they are reaping benefits in the name of tax holidays. Thanks to Manmohan Singh for his great service to the poor farmer by waiving Rs 72 crore loans, for Rural Employment Guarantee Act which ensures employment guarantee, food at reasonable price despite inflation, conveyance to rural people to the place of work. People say that whatever financial support you may give the farmer, but he doesn’t survive without a private loan. Whatever be the truth, agriculture and agriculturists both must be protected for the food security. Food security and energy needs both are inter-related. Bio fuel demands for agriculture produce, farmers changes crop pattern as per the market trend and less land will be available for the food grain production. Thats the reason we want this deal and government.
