Inaugurated Achoor (Athimoola) - Chathoth Road, under PMGSY scheme, at Pozhuthana, Kalpetta

On Road Benefits (0:00) –This road travels through a very difficult terrain, strip mountainous terrain, it is the same terrain that you have to struggled against & I hope this road will make you life slightly easy.

On Agriculture (1:04) – This is a farming area, agricultural area & most people who don’t do farming, people who live in the cities don’t understand how difficult agriculture is. You eat rice, dal, vegetables, but you don’t think the struggles the farmer has to carry out to give you the dal, the rice. – You don’t understand & appreciate the struggles behind the coffee or rice of the dal. 

On Farmers Struggles (4:30) – A lot of hidden forces fight the farming. He deals with the banking system, he deals with loans. In today’s world, he deals with demonetization, flawed GST & he deal with new farm laws.

On Notices to farmers (6:26) – Today 30 thousand farmers in Wayanad has been sent a notice to repay their loans. But it’s a death sentence for the 30 thousand farmers. With rising fuel prices, rising commodity prices, it’s a death sentence for the 30 thousand farmers. Policies need to be sensitive to the farmers. They need to be gentle & appreciate the struggle the farmer makes.

On Bank Defaulters (8:07) – We need to ask the question why Mr. Vijay Mallya can take 9 thousand crores away from the county & living in London. Nirav Modi has taken thousands of crores & he living somewhere else. Why is the bank treating farmers unfairly. You will readily refinance the loans of big industrialists. You will be flexible when you deal with them. The same flexibility should be shown to the farmers. India has to unleash the power of its farmer, not crush its farmers.

On Ukraine (10:43) – Another tragedy we are facing, is what is going on Ukraine. Thousands of youngsters struck in the war zone. I would employ the State Govt.  to put pressure on the National Govt. to act quickly together our students back. The longer we wait the more dangerous it is become for them. We must not rest until every single student, whether from Kerela or from any other state back safely. 

On State Govt role (11:55) –There are many things that the State Govt. can do directly to help these people & it needs to act quickly to get these things done.

Its my honour (12:15) – It’s been the honour for me to come here & inaugurate the road for you. I look forward to coming back here many many time & using this road. Thank you very much for coming here & listening to me.
