New Delhi, Mar 17: Welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Krishi Unnati Mela here on
Saturday, Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Radha Mohan Singh
appealed to farmers' organisations and farm leaders to give up protests and
agitations and appreciate government's commitment to farmers' welfare.
'Naare lagane se kuch nahi hoga. (You will achieve nothing by
raising slogans). For the government the welfare schemes for farmers and
doubling farmers' income by 2022 is not just a slogan,' he said.
