People from big khandaans don't understand farmers: FM

February 01, 2019 14:29

Finance minister Piyush Goyal holding a press conference on the Interim Budget: "Many times people from big khandaans and those sitting in AC rooms cannot understand the plight of the small farmers. Keeping this in mind, we have introduced Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. This is a historic decision. There has never been such a huge measure for farmers in our country.

"We have set up a Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog to ensure cows are respected. We have allocated Rs 500 crore for this."
