MSP recorded sharper climb under UPA rule, data contradict Modi government -Kumar Vikram

-The New Indian Express

Between 2006-07 and 2013-14, when the UPA was in power, there was a 90 to 205% rise in the minimum support price (MSP) of major crops, including paddy, wheat, arhar, gram, maize and masoor.

NEW DELHI:  After the fifth round of talks with agitating farmers, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Saturday claimed that the current government has done more for farmers when it comes to minimum support price (MSP) than any other.

However, an analysis of government data show, under the previous UPA government, the MSP registered a sharper climb than under the present Modi government.

Tomar claimed that in the last six years, there has been “a complete transformation” in the agriculture sector.

“Farmers’ income has increased, the MSP has increased and government purchase of farm products has increased,” he said.
