Rajya Sabha discusses Motion of Thanks to President’s address

Rajya Sabha has taken up a discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address to the joint session of Parliament.

Initiating the discussion, BJP member Kiran Choudhry said the government has taken monumental initiatives to double the income of farmers. Stating that the opposition is holding a false campaign against the Government over its efforts for the Agriculture sector, the BJP member said instead the UPA government had kept the recommendations of Dr Swaminathan’s Committee under cold storage. She further said the Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken several measures to ensure farmers get more income for their produce. She also said the country is currently moving towards Viksit Bharat in a real sense. The discussion is underway currently.
