At the Kisan Tak Bharat Agriculture Conference 2026 in New Delhi, the Prime Minister criticised opposition leaders for treating democracy and the Constitution as personal domains. Reflecting on his time as Gujarat Chief Minister, he noted attempts by the Congress-led central government to suppress positive economic rankings of Gujarat. He outlined government efforts to shield farmers and consumers from global price shocks caused by West Asia conflicts, including fertiliser subsidies and fuel cost absorption. He encouraged farmers to diversify crops and adopt chemical-free natural farming to maintain soil fertility, highlighting India’s record agricultural exports and leading production in several key sectors.
