Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced last year that the government would constitute a committee for MSP.  Will be done. Now fulfilling that promise, the government has announced it.

According to the government, this committee has been constituted to make the process of MSP more transparent. For information, let us tell you that last year there was a farmer movement in the whole country. Rakesh Tikait had led that movement and pitted a large section of farmers against the Modi government. Then the farmers were opposing all the three agricultural laws. They wanted the return of the laws of all three of them.

It was because of that farmers’ movement that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had to announce the withdrawal of all three agricultural laws. He had said that there was some deficiency in the austerity of his government. In the same address, he had also talked about forming a committee regarding MSP.

Three members of the United Kisan Morcha will also be included in the committee constituted by the government. It has been asked by the Center to send three names to the organization.
