New farm laws have not come overnight, MSP will continue: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the new agricultural laws brought by his government have not come overnight
Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the new agricultural laws brought by his government have not come overnight, but were long overdue and insisted that the existing regime of support price for farm produce will continue.
Political parties, agriculture experts and progressive farmers demanded such agri reforms for long, he said and attacked the opposition for misleading cultivators on the issue of MSP (minimum support price) and APMCs.
The new agriculture laws have not come overnight but political parties, agriculture experts and progressive farmers have demanded them for a long time, Modi said in a virtual address to the farmers of Madhya Pradesh.
Coming down heavily on those misleading farmers, Modi said that people should seek replies from those who have talked about these reforms in their manifestos for long but never implemented them.
Modi said MSP and Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) mechanisms will continue even after the implementation of the new farm laws.
