“We have said the expenditure incurred by the farmer on his land—expenditure of seeds, water, electricity etc— will be added in MSP. A total will be reached and on that 50 per cent profit will be added,” the Gujarat chief minister said.
Government declares the minimum support prices of various agricultural produces and assures the farmers that their agricultural produce will be purchased at the MSP, thereby preventing its distress sale.
Attacking the Congress-led government at the Centre, Modi said that while Lal Bahadur Shastri had given the slogan ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan', the ‘Ma-beta' (mother-son) government has given ‘Mar Jawan Mar Kisan'(die soldier, die farmer) slogan.
Modi also said that if BJP government comes to power, neither jawans will be beheaded nor farmers will be forced to commit suicide.
Attacking the Congress, Modi said that the country and its people would not progress unless they get rid of the “dynastic politics”.
