Addressing the nation on Guru Nanak Jayanti, PM Modi appealed to farmers who had set up camp at entry points into the national capital since November 28 last year to return home.

"There may have been some shortcoming in our efforts due to which we could not explain the truth, as clear as the light of the diya, to some of our farmer brothers," PM Modi said, referring to the protests.

Modi said he had seen the challenges faced by farmers very closely in his five decades of public life. Therefore, when the country gave him the opportunity to serve as 'Pradhan Sevak' in 2014, he gave top priority to agriculture development and farmers welfare.
