“Our planned package for agriculture is rich and robust and also all encompassing, no stone shall be left unturned in making our state great again through agriculture.
“This side of our state is pivotal and of utmost importance in our plan, I promise that you shall be well involved in our programme since bulk of the state’s farmers and lands are here.”
