The Congress party claimed on Tuesday that farmers were wise to the Government’s mischief, which is why they rejected the Narendra Modi government’s offer to buy pulses, maize and cotton for five years at minimum support price.
The opposition party said the government’s proposal was a “false offer” and reiterated its commitment to provide statutory backing for MSP and take other steps to ensure justice for farmers.
In a post on X, party leader Rahul Gandhi said that ever since the Congress promised to make MSP a legal guarantee, ”Modi’s propaganda machinery and friendly media have been spreading a barrage of lies on MSP”.
