Farmer's Message
by shailendra lande on Jul 09, 2008 11:10 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

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.

shailendra lande , you have cut and pasted this message . But anyone who reads the content of your mail would suggest that you the sunject as "Stupid Farmer's Message"
First the government did not give 72 Crores but 72000 Crs!
Ask yourself how the government gave 72000 crs. Poor Stupid farmer may think that Government grows money in land around the Parliament. But government needs to collect it from somewhere . As the Finance minister himself said he collected this Industry , SEZs etc etc.
The rest of the nonsense you have written like Food at reasonbale prices (?) conveyance to rural people (?) is mere propaganda . Dont waste you time on the this site . Go and paint it on the walls of your village, may be somebody will beleive it and vote for your party-which ever it is!
