Lok Sabha Election 2024, Phase 1: Voting on 102 seats underway
In the first phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024, as many as 102 constituencies spanning across 21 states and Union Territories will elect their new MPs.
Former chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal on Sunday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s praise of farmers from Bhoranj in ‘Mann Ki Baat’, is a proud moment for Himachal Pradesh.
Dhumal said PM Modi lauded Bhoranj farmers for their innovative techniques in farming, which had resulted in desired increase in production and income.
“It was heartening to hear the praise of farmers of the state in ‘Mann Ki Baat’ as it would encourage farmers for adopting new reforms in agriculture sector,” he said, adding this would also persuade them to ensure their participation in development of the state as a whole.

He said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after coming into power in state would also support the initiatives of the farmers.
He thanked PM Modi for encouraging farmers towards new innovations and said recognising such small innovations at national level is a commendable effort.
