Shimla: The Modi government, which promised to implement the Swaminathan report, has failed to fulfil its poll promise even after three years in government and the situation has turned so ugly that the government has opened fire on the farmers fighting for their rights, said HPCC president Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu.

Speaking at the newly constituted Congress organisational block at Kafota in Shalli area of Sirmaur district, he said the NDA government should bail the farmers out of the Rs 7 lakh crore loan hanging on their head.

The government had failed on all fronts and their poll promises had turned out to be a bundle of lies as the farmers were still awaiting the implementation of Swaminathan report.

He said violence was erupting every day in Jammu and Kashmir, soldiers were being beheaded on the border and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was asking about the well-being of the family members of Pakistan Prime Minister.

Former Chief Parliamentary Secretary and Chairman, Employment Generation and Resource Mobilisation Committee, Harshwardhan Chauhan said the state had witnessed all-round development in the past four-and-a-half years under Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and the people would vote for the Congress in the Assembly polls.
