Sehore, Madhya Pradesh:
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was so popular that even Congressmen keep chanting his name all the time.
"Wherever you go, it is 'Modi Modi', you go to America, England, Dubai and France, at all these places people chant 'Modi'. And Congress also does 'Modi Modi'. They do not see anybody else. In their dreams at night they see only Modi," Mr Chouhan said, addressing a function at Sherpur village to felicitate the Prime Minister for launching the a crop insurance scheme.
The Centre had released Rs 2,000 crore for drought-relief in Madhya Pradesh, Mr Chouhan noted.
The water from Narmada will soon be available for irrigation across the state and his government aimed to enhance the irrigation potential from 36 lakh hectares at present to 60 lakh hectares, he said.
The Chief Minister claimed that the crop insurance scheme launched by the UPA government was a failure because of several deficiencies. For instance, compensation was paid only if the crops in the entire tehsil were affected, he said.
The insurance under the new scheme would be paid even if a single farmer is affected, he said.
