Earlier, the Prime Minister transferred more than Rs 18,000 crore to over nine crore beneficiary farmer families with the push of a button. This is the 7th instalment under the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme — a direct transfer scheme for the farmers. While defending the farm laws, Modi said some people were misleading the farmers on the issue of contract farming and that nobody can snatch the land of the farmers.
Modi said, “I am satisfied that now there is no middlemen and farmers are getting money directly, and till now Rs 1,10,000 crore has been deposited without any cut and commission. This is good governance.”
