Farmers’ perspective
UNLIKE developed nations where manifestos of political parties are taken as their respective agendas after coming to power, local farmers are not upbeat about the agriculture plans being presented by various political entities during the ongoing election season.
In view of the parties’ past performance during their respective tenures in power, the farming community considers the manifestos “purposeless” documents meant only for discussion amongst political competitors and for making “false” promises with the electorate.
