Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday engaged with farmers benefiting from the Kusum scheme, a government initiative designed to provide solar-powered energy solutions to rural India.

During the discussion, a farmer made a humorous political remark without naming Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, indirectly praising the Prime Minister. The comment drew hearty laughter from PM Modi and the farmers present.

The farmer said, “With the solar plant, my dream has been fulfilled. Earlier, we were only recognized as food providers, but now, thanks to your support, we have become energy providers. We gave our land for this project. People said potatoes would turn into gold—well, potatoes didn’t, but our land gave us gold!”
