00:30We get Rs. 2000 per month for four months.

00:34We thought that if we could get Rs. 4000, we would get more benefits for the farmers.

00:40I have given Rs. 2000 to the government to increase the revenue.

00:45What other benefits have you got from the government?

00:48We have got fertilizers, machines, etc.

00:56We have also given a good budget to the government to promote organic farming.

01:02Do you know anything about organic farming?

01:05No, not much.

01:07We grow wheat and rice, but the biggest problem is that we are very thirsty.

01:16We used to sell vegetables day and night, but we are not able to feed ourselves.

01:22We are not able to transport our vehicles.

01:26The government has given a budget to the farmers, what do you think about that?

01:32I don't think there is a lot to say about the budget.

01:36We get Rs. 2000 per month for four months, which is good, but there should be some other

01:44benefits for the farmers.

01:46So, you think that we should increase the farmer-producer organization?

01:48Yes.

01:50What other benefits do you get?

01:52We get a lot of facilities like fertilizers, machines, etc.

02:02We also get a tonic, but the biggest problem is that we are very worried about the animals.

02:14Many people in our village are worried about the animals.

02:18The budget is good for the businessmen because they need funds.

02:24The budget has been increased to Rs. 20 lakh, which is good for the businessmen.

02:32The income tax is also good for the businessmen.

02:40There are many problems for the businessmen.

02:44There should be some relief in the GST.

02:46The government should pay attention to the budget.

02:50So, there was hope for the businessmen?

02:52Yes, there was hope.

02:54But this budget...

02:56Yes, but there are some things that have been good.

03:00Like we said, the funds have been very good, but we are not getting any relief on the GST.

03:06We are from the middle class.

03:10We have to buy food from the market.

03:12We have to get cheap potatoes, onions, and lentils.

03:16This is above our budget.

03:20What is this budget?

03:22How will it be cheap?

03:24If we get this budget, the poor will get something cheap.

03:30Lentils are around Rs. 200.

03:34Tomatoes are around Rs. 80.

03:36If this budget is cheap, then the farmers and the middle class will understand that the budget is cheap.

03:46What do you expect from the government?

03:48The government is running the country.

03:50We will demand from it.

03:52We will demand from it.
