Political Clash: Agriculture Schemes at the Heart of West Bengal's Electoral Battle

Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan criticized the West Bengal government for not implementing the Centre's agriculture schemes, accusing them of injustice towards farmers. He claimed the TMC is engaging in ''mean politics'' and predicted a political change following upcoming elections. Progress in the national agriculture sector was also highlighted.

Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal, accusing it of neglecting central agriculture schemes, thus causing injustice to farmers.

The criticism comes amid a fierce political battle between the BJP and TMC ahead of the state's Assembly elections. Chouhan, while addressing the Lok Sabha, accused the West Bengal government of committing a 'sin' by not implementing initiatives like the PM Dhan Dhanya Krishi Yojana.

He further accused the state of 'mean politics' and predicted a shift in governance post-election. In contrast, he highlighted the progress accomplished nationally in the agriculture sector, including the creation of separate IDs for farmers.
