Congress promises legal guarantee on MSP, warns Centre farmers' march 'just the beginning'

New Indian Express  

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi government of crushing the voice of farmers after "failing" to fulfil the promises made to them over 10 years. Party general secretary Randeep Surjewala said the Congress supports the farmers' agitation and questioned why authorities were resorting to "dictatorial" behaviour by putting up barricades and converting Delhi into a "police cantonment." He said the farmers were only demanding the implementation of the promises made to them two years ago during their earlier agitation like a legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price and waiving debts. Surjewala warned that this was "just the beginning" of the stir as only farmers from Haryana and Punjab were participating right now and said soon farmers from across the country would join the agitation.
