modiBareilly:Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said he dreams of seeing farmers’ income getting doubled by 2022 when the country completes 75 years of its independence.

Addressing a big gathering of farmers during a ‘Kisan Rally’ here, Modi highlighted various initiatives undertaken by his government for their welfare.

Stating that while most of the governments wait for the election year to roll out welfare schemes and incentives for farmers, Modi said it was not the case with his National Democratic Alliance government.

“Farmers look towards governments after God and it is imperative on us to ensure that the farmers are looked after well,” the prime minister said.

“I exhort all state governments that they should work on the road map before them and I am sure that my dream and your dream will succeed,” he added.

Elaborating on his dream, Modi said by 2022 when India completes 75 years of its independence the income of the farmers would be doubled. He then asked farmers whether his dream would be realised.

Modi said it was not a very difficult target.

Citing the example of Madhya Pradesh, a Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled state, he said though it did not figure in the top five states of agriculture, now there was a complete turnaround in the agriculture sector.

The prime minister said he had not come here to criticise any government.

“But I want everyone to be on the same page on the issue of farmer welfare,” he said in an apparent dig on the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh.

The prime minister also described the service, manufacturing and agriculture sectors as the backbone of the Indian economy.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
