Congress president Kharge urges Modi Government to fulfill promises and not harm farmers, paying tribute to Charan Singh on Kisan Diwas.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday (December 23, 2024) urged the Modi Government to not do “further injustice” to farmers through its “anti-farmer” policies and fulfil its old promises.
Mr. Kharge paid tributes to former Prime Minister Charan Singh on his birth anniversary, which is marked as Kisan Diwas.
“Farmers make India, they are the pride of the country. Warm wishes to all farmer sisters and brothers and farm labourers on Kisan Diwas. Respectful tributes to former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh ji, who fought for the farmers of the country, on his birth anniversary,” Mr. Kharge said in a post in Hindi on X.
“It is hoped that the Modi government will not do further injustice to our farmers through its stubbornness and anti-farmer policies and will implement its old promises,” the Congress president said.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi also greeted farmers on Kisan Diwas.
“Respectful salute to all the food providers of the country, whose hard work makes our country prosperous. We are grateful for this great contribution of the farmers and are always ready to protect their rights and respect,” Mr. Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.

The silent reading movement in the Mylapore-Mandaveli-RA Puram area showed up first at Nageswara Rao Park around two years ago, with modest ambitions, when Balaji launched it along with other reading enthusiasts from the region. This initiative has now moved parks, and seems to set to get entrenched in one. Due to renovation work at Nageswara Park, the reading session became irregular. With the Nageswara Rao park work gaining more surface area, it had to be shifted elsewhere. And it seems set to continue with a newly discovered green patch in RK Nagar in the Sundays to follow.
