The RSS general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi said that it was UPA government’s myopic policies that was resulting in economic crisis. It was the second day of meeting at Jamdoli on the outskirts of Jaipur when the participants discussed several key issues including rising crime against women. The RSS leaders spent a good time while discussing economic, agriculture and manufacturing scenario. “The growth rate of the manufacturing sector has nose-dived to the lowest ever since independence.”
Mr Joshi said the growing incidents of suicide by the farmers were the outcomes of neglect of the farming sector by the government. He said the dependence of an increasing number of farmers on contract farming and the irrational obduracy of the government in land acquisition matters were pushing the lives of crores of farmers into grave crisis. Besides, it also affects the food security of the country. The RSS functionaries voiced for pollution in holy rivers like Ganga and Yamuna.
