“For the last five years, the Modi government has continuously ignored the farmers’ movement of Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Atrocities have been committed against the farmers. Now they are talking about stealing the MSP from the farmers of Punjab and Haryana for burning stubble,” Ramesh said and alleged that the Congress Strongly opposes this policy.
“Agrarian justice will be the top priority of the incoming Janbandhan government of India,” he said in a post in Hindi along with the video statement.
Ramesh said the Congress has given five concrete guarantees to farmers in its Nayi Petra, including a legal guarantee of MSP, based on the Swaminathan formula, and a standing committee to effectively implement loan waiver schemes.
The party also gave a guarantee for direct transfer of insurance payment within 30 days of crop loss, proper import-export policy and removal of GST from everything needed for agriculture, he said.
