New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday announced a compensation of Rs 20,000 for every acre of damaged crops to farmers of the national capital affected by unseasonal rains. Kejriwal claimed that this was the largest compensation offered by any state government.

While addressing a rally in West Delhi, the Chief Minister assured the farmers of the government’s full support.
Kejriwal said, “The government working on dispensaries, schools, water supply for villages. Affected Delhi farmers to get a compensation of Rs 20,000 per acre.”

Kejriwal added, “I am not doing any favour to you. This is your money and it is going back to you. Earlier the money was being stolen. Now the money is being put to right use. I am told that this is the highest compensation announced by any state government.

“With this announcement, it is important to send a message to other state governments where farmers are committing suicide. If this can happen in Delhi, then why can’t it happen in Punjab, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat?” Kejriwal said.
