Farmers being misled: BJP

Chandigarh: The BJP is committed to safeguarding the economic interests of the farmers and will never

abolish the minimum support price (MSP) provision, said BJP state unit president Ashwani Sharma here on Tuesday.

“It’s unfortunate that the Opposition parties are misleading the farmers by spreading a false propaganda by saying that the ordinances on agriculture will do away with the MSP,” said Sharma.

“On the contrary, I want to reassure the farmers that the BJP will never take such a decision. The party believes in improving the lot of the peasants and wants them to have a choice to sell their produce at the highest price available anywhere in the country,” the BJP leader said. — TNS
