Modi government is even ready to sacrifice Indian agriculture for its own self-interest : Rahul Gandhi

(Fast Mail):-- Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, citing a written question he raised in the House and the government's reply, accused on Saturday that the government is even ready to sacrifice Indian agriculture for its own self-interest.

The former Congress president also said that he will continue to raise his voice inside and outside Parliament to protect farmers' rights and MSP (Minimum Support Price).Sharing a copy of his unstarred question and the government's response on Facebook, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "In Lok Sabha, I directly asked the government why the promise of legal MSP at 'C2+50 percent' made to farmers in 2021 has not been implemented yet? Instead of answering, the government merely repeated its old MSP policy."

He said the government also admitted that it pressured states to end MSP bonuses and justified it without any reason in the name of "national priorities."

The Leader of Opposition said, "Another serious question is that in the trade agreement with America, there is talk of reducing 'non-trade barriers.' Does this mean weakening MSP and government procurement? The government is avoiding even this question."
