The House faced another adjournment when Sunil Tatkare of NCP sought to make his remarks. In Rajya Sabha, Congress member Randeep Singh Surjewala made a strong attack on the government over its policies related to agriculture. “The government’s DNA is anti-farmer. The government has not spent Rs 3 lakh crore in six schemes related to agriculture,” he said during the discussion on the budget. He said that no provisions have been made in the budget for waiving of farmers’ loans. He also said that the government is not providing adequate MSP on foodgrains to farmers.
