New Delhi/IBNS: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar Tuesday questioned the Centre regarding the farmers' issue as he directed most of his queries at the Union Agriculture Minister. 

Speaking at a ceremony to mark the centenary of ICAR-CIRCOT (Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology), Dhankar pointed to the increase in India's stature in the world forum and asked under what circumstances the promises made to farmers cannot be fulfilled.

"Policy-making is not on right track," he said.

"Agriculture Minister, every moment is important for you. I request you to please tell me, what was promised to the farmer? Why was the promise not fulfilled? What should we do to fulfil the promise? There was a movement last year, there is a movement this year too. The wheel of time is turning, we are not doing anything," he said.

There has been no response from Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan so far.

Chouhan became part of the Union cabinet after the April-May Lok Sabha election after his stint at the Madhya Pradesh chief minister for around 15 years.

The Vice President is known to champion the cause of farmers.

His recent comments come amid a spike in farmer protests.
