Modi was in Aligarh to lay the foundation stone of a university named after the freedom fighter and Jat king Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh. This comes at a time when farmers, many of whom are from the Jat community, have been protesting against the three new farm laws. Speaking on the occasion, Modi said that the government has paid 1 lakh crore directly to small farmers during the pandemic. Out of that, 25,000 crores has been paid to farmers in Uttar Pradesh alone, he added. Modi said former Prime Minister and Jat leader Chaudhary Charan Singh, whose grandson, Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Jayant Chaudhary, has been playing a major role in mobilizing farmers for their protests in UP, cared about small farmers and worked for their development.
