Sometime back, you demanded that if there is a ministry to look after the agriculture sector, then why not for fishermen? "When Congress was in power, fishermen used to get 25 per cent subsidy on the purchase of diesel. That subsidy, which was just Rs 300 crore (per annum), has been abolished by the BJP government here. They can give Rs 33,000 crore for Nano factory but they cant give Rs 300 crore to you," he asked. Till now, those doors were open only for the rich, and only their voice was heard.
