Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan accused the AAP government in Delhi of ignoring the welfare of farmers and said those in the national capital are “upset” and “worried” over the non-implementation of schemes by the Centre.
In a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, Chauhan charged the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi is preventing the implementation of farmer-friendly schemes of the Union government in the national capital. “You have never made appropriate decisions in the interest of farmers in Delhi. Farmer-friendly schemes of the central government have also been prevented from being implemented in Delhi by your government,” Singh charged in his letter.

Saying he is writing the letter with great sadness, Chauhan said the Delhi AAP government has “no sympathy for farmers”. “Today the farmers of Delhi are upset and worried. Due to the non-implementation of many farmer welfare schemes of the Centre by the Delhi government, the farmer brothers and sisters are being deprived of the benefits of these schemes,” the Union minister said.
Chauhan said though he had written to the Delhi chief minister earlier as well on the issue, no measures were taken to address them. “I had earlier also written a letter to you and informed you about the problems of the farmers of Delhi, but it is a matter of concern that your government has not resolved these problems,” he said.
