Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh -
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini, said that both the Centre and the Haryana govt are true well-wishers of farmers. He highlighted that this is evident from the fact that Haryana has purchased 100 percent of the crops from farmers at the MSP and has deposited Rs 1.25 lakh crore into the accounts of 12 lakh farmers.
Additionally, Rs 78 crore has been given to farmers as interest on delayed payments after crop purchases. Meanwhile, in Punjab, both the previous Congress government and the current Aam Aadmi Party government have failed to support farmers, as crops are not being purchased at MSP. This has led to ongoing farmer protests. The Chief Minister advised the Punjab government to introduce a bill in the assembly to ensure the purchase of 100 percent of farmers' crops at MSP. He further assured that when the BJP government comes to power in Punjab, 100 percent of farmers' crops will be bought at MSP.
