BJP welcomes Union Cabinet decisions on farmers, MSMEs

The Union Cabinet’s latest decisions reflect the government’s priorities of supporting farmers, strengthening small businesses and preserving the country’s historical and cultural heritage, BJP Andhra Pradesh president P.V.N. Madhav said.

In a statement on Wednesday, welcoming the decisions, he said the Cabinet had approved a fertilizer subsidy allocation of ₹62,370 crore for the Rabi season to ensure adequate availability of fertilizers to farmers. It had also earmarked ₹5,000 crore to facilitate credit support for small business enterprises.

Mr. Madhav said the decisions demonstrated the Narendra Modi government’s commitment to placing farmers’ interests at the forefront of its development agenda.

He also welcomed the approval of ₹3,230 crore for converting the historic North and South Block buildings in New Delhi into the Yuge Yugeen Bharat National Museum.

The project would transform the heritage buildings into a world-class museum equipped with modern technology, providing future generations an opportunity to understand India’s history, culture and civilisational heritage, he said.

The BJP leader said the Cabinet decisions reflected the Centre’s focus on agriculture, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and the preservation of the country’s cultural legacy. The allocations for fertilizer subsidies and credit support would strengthen two important segments of the economy, while the museum project would help preserve and showcase India’s rich historical heritage.
