As Kejriwal’s (KCR) ambitions expand towards the national stage, he has been quietly building a reputation as a farm leader in Haryana. The Chief Minister’s decision to focus on agriculture comes as part of his broader strategy to connect with rural India and address pressing issues affecting farmers.
According to sources close to the Chief Minister, KCR believes that his experience in farming will give him an edge in addressing the problems faced by agricultural communities across the country. His decision to take on a leadership role in the farm sector is seen as a deliberate attempt to build a national profile while maintaining his focus on local issues.
As part of his efforts to promote farming, KCR has been actively involved in initiatives such as the ‘Haryana Food Processing Policy’ and ‘Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana’. These policies aim to boost agricultural production and improve the livelihoods of farmers through investment in modern farming techniques and infrastructure development.
In recent months, KCR has visited several districts in Haryana to interact with farmers and understand their problems firsthand. His engagement with rural communities is seen as an attempt to build trust and establish himself as a leader who genuinely cares about the welfare of farmers.
Despite his growing national ambitions, KCR’s focus on farming remains unchanged. As he continues to navigate the complexities of state politics, it remains to be seen whether his agricultural credentials will prove decisive in his pursuit of national office. One thing is certain – for now, KCR is content to play a key role in shaping the future of Indian agriculture.
