Hooda on Tuesday slammed the BJP government in the state for making baseless announcements which cannot be implemented on the ground. Hooda said the announcement of giving minimum support price (MSP) on all crops is one such announcement
The previous Modi-led government had set up the MSP committee following a year-long agitation by farmers in 2020-21, demanding a law to make MSPs binding
A day after the Supreme Court underscored “deep trust deficit” between the central government, states and farmers, and proposed the establishment of an independent committee to address farmers’ demands, including a legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for crops, the protesting farmers termed it a futile exercise
The SC bench directed the Centre, and Haryana and Punjab, to suggest names for the committee and ordered status quo for a week on Shambhu border near Ambala, where farmers have been camping since February 13.
