Thiruvananthapuram: Over 28 lakh farmers in Kerala receive Rs 6,000 annually in three installments as direct income support under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said.
“So far, each eligible farmer has received a total of Rs 38,000 through regular installments, providing them with crucial financial assistance,” the BJP state chief said in a message.
While the Pinarayi Vijayan government in Kerala turned its back on farmers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stood with them, delivering consistent, direct support to empower our small-scale farmers, he claimed.
“Both the LDF and UDF ran misleading campaigns to block the benefits of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme from reaching our farmers. But thanks to the transparency of direct benefit transfers, farmers received their rightful support without any room for misappropriation,” he added.
