He claimed that if the country is to be developed, then industrialization is only agriculture. However, instead of giving budget to agriculture, it is TAG_OPEN_span_9 different to give budget to farmers because TAG_OPEN_span_8 TAG_CLOSE_span_9 the budget and plan are different, he said. He stressed the need to make production-oriented by properly utilizing the remittances coming from abroad.
