UP Polls: BJP chief JP Nadda said PM Modi gave Rs 6,000 every year to farmers under PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi.
BJP national president J P Nadda on Saturday accused the Congress of misleading farmers in the name of loan waiver, and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given Rs 6,000 to farmers every year under the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme.
"Today many people call themselves farmer leaders, but they did nothing for the community. The Congress has misled the farmers in the name of loan waiver. (On the other hand) Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given Rs 6,000 every year to farmers under PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi," he said at an election meeting.
"When the prime minister started the Jan Dhan Yojana, the opposition made fun of it. (Samajwadi Party chief) Akhilesh ji, who was born with a silver spoon, and Rahul (Gandhi) ji asked what will happen with bank accounts for the poor? Today, the money given under the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, Prime Minister Awas Yojana and other schemes goes directly into the bank accounts of the poor, and there are no middlemen," he said.
Mr Nadda also claimed that the Samajwadi Party (SP) deceived the Nishad party, and it was the BJP which worked to fill the plate (of the people).
