Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that protecting the interest of the farmers is his government’s top priority, and the country will never compromise on them. His remark comes a day after US President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25 per cent tariffs on India for purchasing Russian crude.
Addressing the MS Swaminathan Centenary International Conference in Delhi, the Prime Minister said he knows he will “have to pay a price”, but asserted that he is ready to do it.
“For us, farmers’ interest is the foremost priority. India will never compromise the interests of farmers, fishermen and dairy farmers. I believe, personally, I will have to pay the price, and I am ready for that,” said PM Modi.
