Baghpat: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that due to expansion of Ramala Sugar Mill, the farmers will not have to worry about selling their farm produce for the next 30 years as the government will ask them if they received the payment or not.
“Around 27-Megawatt electricity will be generated through this sugar mill, it will be sold and the farmers will get time bound payment. The state government is working towards carrying forward the campaign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of doubling the income of farmers,” said the CM while addressing inaugural function of the capacity expansion project of Ramala Cooperative Sugar Mill Limited at Baghpat on Monday.
The CM said that earlier the farmers were exploited. Chaudhary Charan Singh was the messiah to farmers and the farmers had been demanding the expansion of Ramala Sugar Mill for the last 30 years. “But the previous governments had turned a deaf ear to their pleas. Now, the entire cane produce of the farmers will be taken, even if we have to produce ethanol and sell it,” he said.
The CM said that there is no alternative to development. “Last year, 119 sugar mills had been made operational and this year three mills will be started. One mill will crush 50 quintals of sugarcane in one day. The crushing capacity of Ramala Sugar Mill has been increased from 2750 TCD to 5000. The government is committed towards ensuring that farmers get a fair price for their produce,” he said.
The CM said that both the lanes of Ganga Canal will be improved before the Kumbh 2021 in Haridwar. “Besides, a university is going to be built in Saharanpur in West UP. On the lines of Haridwar, the state government will develop Garhmukteshwar as a new pilgrimage place,” the CM said.
He said, now no one can block the rights of 23 crore people of the state. “When our government was formed in the state, many decisions were taken in the interest of farmers. The farmers are happy now. There is a village in Baghpat from where 27 youth have been recruited to the police, he said.
The CM said that the wishes of Sardar Patel and Baba Bhimrao Ambedkar have not been fulfilled even after 70 years. By abrogating Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has put an end to terrorism. There is no place for terrorism and corruption in India. The Constitution has been implemented in Jammu and Ladakh and it has also been made evident to Pakistan that they would be given a befitting reply, and the army in Kashmir is doing the same thing, he said.
