Adityanath Lied About MSP, Says Kejriwal at Meerut Mahapanchayat
While addressing the Meerut's Kissan Mahapanchayat on Sunday, 28 March, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took a jibe at BJP over farmers' issue, reported NDTV.
While responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent speech in Parliament, in which he had reassured that the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system would stay, Kejriwal asked where in Uttar Pradesh MSP was paid.
In a Parliament address earlier this month, PM Modi had said, "MSP was there. MSP is there. MSP will remain in the future."
Kejriwal also said, "Their minister keeps saying that MSP was there and will remain. But you tell me if farmers get MSP in any of the mandis. They lie day and night. Yogi Adityanath lies," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
He also raised the issue of UP's sugarcane farmers and said that they had not been getting their dues up to two years with a cumulative backlog of Rs 18,000 crore.
"Yogi Adityanath, shame on your government if you are incapable of ensuring payments to sugarcane farmers," he said.
