Speaking at a function in Jaipur, Singh said the Prime Minister NarendraModi-led government is working towards the goal of doubling farmer incomes by 2022.

"Jab tak Hindustan ka kisaan dhanvaan nahi hota, tab tak Hindustan ko dhanvaan banane ki kalpana humari poori nhi ho skti (Unless farmers of India are properous, till then prosperity of nation cannot even be imagined)," he said.

He said that India's borders are now safer than before, adding that the government will further ensure that security is stepped up.
