The Chief Minister said that there has been a decisive change in this time’s Girdavari compared to the previous government because earlier there were only vague claims and no compensation was given to the people at the ground level. Bhagwant Mann said that during the previous governments, Girdavari was dependent only on the will of the politically rich people due to which no real beneficiary got help. He said that instead of going to the fields, such girdavaris were performed in the homes of rich people.

The Chief Minister said that this time a fully transparent procedure has been adopted to conduct the Girdavari smoothly. Bhagwant Mann said that he had promised that the compensation process would be started before Baisakhi and it is a matter of great satisfaction that the campaign has started today ahead of schedule. He said that the sole purpose of this decision is to benefit the farmers who have played a leading role in making the country self-reliant in food grain production.

The Chief Minister said that his government has increased the compensation amount to farmers for crop damage by 25 percent. If the loss is more than 75 percent, the state government will compensate the farmers at the rate of Rs 15,000 per acre. Similarly, he said that if the damage is from 33 to 75 percent, the farmers will be compensated at the rate of Rs. 6800 per acre. Similarly, Bhagwant Mann said that the farm workers will also be given adequate compensation for the loss so that they do not face any difficulty. He said that even minor damage to houses is being compensated.

The Chief Minister said that for the first time in the history of the state, the campaign to distribute compensation within 20 days of the breakdown has been started as no previous government had bothered about it. The Chief Minister quipped, “During the previous governments, there was such a delay in compensation that most of the ministers and MLAs used to forget which crop they were distributing the compensation cheques. Now in your government the crop is still in the fields but the money has been deposited in the accounts.”

The Chief Minister said that instead of pleading with the Center to compensate the farmers for the loss of their crops due to rain, the state should bear the entire cost of the financial burden on the farmers due to the reduction in the price of broken and shriveled wheat grains by the Government of India. The government will endure. He said that the farmers have suffered heavy losses due to continuous rains, but the apathy of the central government has not done anything to help the farmers, but to rub salt on the wounds of the farmers, the center has reduced the price of the damaged food grains.

The Chief Minister clearly said that it is not possible to fill the national grain store without Punjabi farmers. He said that the Food Corporation of India (FCI) cannot survive without the hardworking farmers of the state. Bhagwant Mann vowed that when the central government will demand the supply of grain from us in the form of wheat and paddy for the grain store, every single penny of the cut imposed on the farmers will be taken from the center along with interest. Bhagwant Mann said that the Center has adopted an apathetic attitude towards Punjab and its farmers which cannot be tolerated at any cost.

₹ 40 crore compensation for crop damage has been deposited in the accounts of farmers today according to the Girdavaris… this cycle will continue in the same way… earlier they used to not give compensation money for 4-4 years… while giving it they forgot which crop are giving compensation to… there is a difference between us and them… pic.twitter.com/0dVdcGV8Xx

Bhagwant Mann said that such a large number of jobs in just one year shows the commitment of the state government to ensure the welfare of the youth and open new avenues of employment for them.

We do not request the center, we are strongly opposed to the cut on the wheat grain… but nature is the law of grandfather and grandson… Now, whatever cut the center imposes, when our turn comes, we will calculate the full amount with interest. … There are those who earn and eat by working hard, there are no beggars, our Punjab is… pic.twitter.com/BgBl1NwJqO
