He said that the AAP government in Delhi is very indifferent towards the farmers. There is no sympathy for the farmers in the Delhi government of Aam Aadmi Party.

The farmer friendly schemes of the Central Government were not implemented by the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi.

Get over politics and take decisions in the interest of farmers

Delhi government is not sending the proposal
Shivraj said that the central government is ready to give money from its side, but because of the Delhi government, farmers are not getting the benefits of those schemes. He said, “The Center does not send the money on its own. The Center sends the money for the schemes on the proposal of the state and no proposal came to the Central Government for many schemes from Delhi, hence the benefits of those schemes were not received. Many schemes are like this. , in which 60% money is given by the central government and 40% money has to be matched by the state. We release the money on the basis of the proposal of the state, they did not send the proposal, that is why I have written the letter.
