'Paltry' MSP Hike Cruel Joke On Farmers, Says Punjab CM Amarinder Singh

News 18  

Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday rejected the Centre’s paltry hike in MSP of wheat and five other Rabi crops as a cruel joke on farmers. He said the paltry hike has come amid their growing apprehensions about the abolition of the minimum support price regime following the passage of the new agriculture Bills in Parliament. The farmers have been asking for a written guarantee that MSP will not be tampered with, but instead, the Centre has made a a measly offering to them, said the CM. The verbal assurances and promises made by the government which has failed to implement even its written promises and commitments are totally meaningless, he said, urging the central government to take cognisance of farmers’ concerns even now and address them with meaningful steps instead of such antics.
