 and the guarantee of releasing an extra Rs 950 per quintal in one instalment was fulfilled on March 12, Tuesday. Though the money has yet to roll into many thousand accounts, it is being celebrated with more fervour than the Ram Mandir. After all, the promise is to make farmers richer by about Rs 19,257 per acre as the BJP had promised to procure 21 quintals of paddy per acre as against the Congress promise of 20 quintals. The maths translates into 21 quintals at Rs 3,100 as against 20 quintals at the central government MSP of Rs 2,250 per quintal. The Congress had made a pre-election promise to give Rs 3,000 per quintal for 20 quintals per acre. The BJP bettered that with 21 quintals @ Rs 3,100. The BJP also claims that it has already deposited Rs 3,716 crore into farmer accounts which is in lieu of the missing bonus for 2014-15. The then Raman Singh government had been unable to pay the Rs 300 bonus per quintal it had promised because the newly-elected Modi government had refused to release the funds. The real story in Chhattisgarh this time is the free flow of central government largesse because of a lesson well learnt in 2018. The Modi government had refused to allow Raman Singh to make a pre-election promise of matching the Congress claim of giving Rs 2,500 per quintal. The MSP then was Rs 1,950 per quintal of paddy. The difference was paid by the Baghel government as Rajiv Gandhi Yojana in four instalments every year. But the promise had had a singular impact on voters, 70 per cent of whom are either farmers or are in farm-related employment/business. The BJP went better on each of the Congress promises this time and reaped an unexpected harvest. It is debatable which promise worked better, the Rs 1,000 for women or Rs 3,100 for farmers. But by fulfiling its promises just in time for general elections, the BJP now hopes to make a clean sweep of the 11 Lok Sabha seats in Chhattisgarh. [ad_2]){kind=link}
