Today, our government is working to bring a change in the lives of sugarcane farmers by running old sugar mills and establishing new sugar mills.""21 sugar mills were shut down during BSP's regime and 11 were closed during the rule of the Samajwadi Party. When we (BJP) came to power, we restarted the closed mill and brought a positive change in the lives of sugarcane farmers," he added.The rule from 2004 to 2014 was a 'dark age' for Uttar Pradesh and the entire country, he said and added that "After taking over the reins of the country in the year 2014, respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has worked in the interest of farmers with full commitment."Lauding the farmers in the state, he said, "The basis of a life cycle is food and the basis of food is the farmer.

Back then, the then government was respecting the rioters. Today, such rioters know that there cannot be riots under our government, because the rioters know that if they riot, then their seven generations will have to pay a heavy price."The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister was referring to the clashes that took place between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh, in August-September 2013, resulting in the deaths of several innocent lives.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
