Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu said all governments should give priority to farmers and ensure remunerative prices of the crops.
Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday said that the problems of the farmers should not be politicised for votes as that will cause divisions in the country.
Heaping praise on farmers, the Vice President said that agriculture was the backbone of the country's economy and that when all other sectors of the economy had suffered, production in the agricultural sector increased for two successive years.
"All governments should give priority to farmers and ensure remunerative prices of the crops. There must always be a dialogue between farmers and the government," he stated.
"But the farmers' problems should not be linked to politics. When it is linked to votes, there is always division. The politics should take place in the political arena only," he added.
