"That's why the plight of the real farming community has been ignored for over six decades," he said.
"We want Modi to clearly spell out the NDA's agro-economic policies.
We shall also demand a guarantee that henceforth, 10 percent of all seats in Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and all state legislatures shall be reserved for the real farmers and it would be implemented forthwith," Tiwari told IANS.
"After all, agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, so what is the harm in giving only 10 percent of the legislative and parliamentary seats to the actual farmers, instead of the five star variety farmers who are in politics," he contended.
The VJAS chief reiterated that despite the presence of 'wealthy farmers' in parliament and legislatures, over five million farmers of Maharashtra are deprived of basic aid in these trying times since the rains and hail.
