New Delhi:
Often accused by the Opposition of being 'anti-farmer', Prime Minister Modi is set to embark on a series of rallies to address the concerns and highlight his government's pro-farmer initiatives this month.
Starting February 18. PM Modi will hold 'Kisan Sammelans' in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh.
BJP general secretary Arun Singh said various farmer organisations will also felicitate the Prime Minister at these programmes for the initiatives taken by his government.
He said while the first such farmers' rally will be held in Madhya Pradesh on February 18, the second will be organised in Odisha on February 21, followed by Karnataka on February 27.
The last 'Kisan Sammelan' will be organised in Uttar Pradesh which goes to polls early next year.
The party is, however, yet to finalise the places where these events will be held, Mr Singh said.
The provision of soil health cards, irrigation scheme, crop insurance scheme, providing neem-coated urea to farmers and helping their coverage under various social security schemes, will be among the schemes to be highlighted, he added.
