Union Home Minister, Shri Amit Shah expresses gratitude to Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, on Union Cabinet decision to hike MSP of six Rabi crops


“Every day and every moment of Modi Govt has been devoted towards welfare of farmers and the poor”

“Modi Govt has once again reiterated its resolve towards welfare of farmers and the poor by raising the MSP of six rabi crops today”

“Today, PM Modi has hiked MSP of Wheat by Rs. 50 per quintal, Gram – Rs. 225 per quintal, Barley – Rs. 75 per quintal, Lentils – Rs. 300 per quintal, Mustard and rapeseed – Rs. 225 per quintal and Safflower – Rs. 112 per quintal”

“This unprecedented hike in MSP by Modi Govt is a pragmatic effort towards doubling farmers’ income”

“Those trying to gain lost political ground by provoking farmers, procured just 1.52 Lakh Metric Tonnes of pulses from farmers when they were in power between 2009-14, while Modi govt has procured 76.85 Lakh Metric Tonnes of pulses during 2014-19. This difference of 4,962% clearly exposes their hypocrisy & proves dedication of PM Modi”

“Those opposing Modi Govt's agricultural reforms bills are against the welfare of our farmers and policy of giving them the right value for their produce”

“These people do not want our hardworking farmer brothers who feed the country to ever be as rich and empowered as they themselves are. However, Modi Govt will give farmers their rightful dues”
