00:00 Our government has approved 122 big schemes in the last two years.
00:07 We pay the premium for crop insurance, but the farmer has to pay a rupee.
00:12 The Lok Sabha elections are going on, there have been six steps, this time it's 400 steps.
00:19 I have spoken to many BJP leaders and they have said that this is not a slogan, it is a pledge.
00:25 This is a pledge. So how is Maharashtra helping to fulfil this?
00:32 We have complete faith in Maharashtra. We give importance to development.
00:41 And that is why in the last two years, there has been so much work in this state.
00:47 Like you said, Nagpur-Mumbai-Samrudiya Express, Atal-Setu, the single longest sea bridge of 25 km,
00:55 today the coastal highway, the metro work, the ones that were not built, were built.
01:01 So they started this. We gave them a way, we made them move forward, and we did it very quickly.
01:11 And then we took many decisions, for the farmers, for women, for the elderly, to increase the industry.
01:21 And that is why today we believe that people support the workers, support the developers.
01:31 This is our development agenda. We are fighting this election, we are fighting this election on the issue of development.
01:37 Modi ji also raised this point, and if I say Maharashtra model, it is seen as a successful model in India.
01:44 You talk about the Gujarat model, the UP model, Maharashtra model has always been a successful model.
01:50 In that, if your government is said to be for the people of Maharashtra, especially for the farmers, how does it look?
01:55 Our government, now see, there is a monsoon, there is a loss there.
02:02 It also gets dry. So our government has changed the rules of NDRF, changed the norms, doubled it.
02:10 The limit of 2 hectares has been increased to 3 hectares. The farmers get more money.
02:15 It will cover it. It will cover it, which is a big loss.
02:19 So we say that the government of the farmers, how will we keep the farmers hungry?
02:22 The second thing is, like the Prime Minister gets Rs. 6000 annually, in that we have added another Rs. 6000 to the farmer's honour scheme.
02:31 He gets Rs. 12,000 now. We pay the premium in crop insurance. The farmer has to pay Rs. 1.
02:38 Only.
02:39 That is their premium. The rest is paid by the government.
02:41 Government pays. And we have made very supportive schemes for the farmers.
02:46 That benefits the farmers. And today, our irrigation department, our government has approved 122 big schemes in 2 years.
02:58 The previous government approved 4 schemes.
03:03 You have approved the entire tariff.
03:05 And our government approved 122.
03:07 Today, lakhs of hectares of land will be irrigated.
03:12 Water will be available.
03:14 Yes, yes.
03:15 So this is what our government has done.
03:16 Absolutely.
03:17 The water that is going to be wasted.
03:18 Yes, yes, yes. It has been treated.
03:20 We will divert it to the river connecting area.
03:30 We will divert it.
03:31 We will divert it. We are asking for help from the centre.
03:34 And definitely, in the next few years, we will give water to the drought prone areas.
03:46 We have given priority to the farmers.
03:49 We have given priority to the farmers.
