Prime Minister Modi addressed farmers in Madhya Pradesh.
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed today that the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system will remain in place as he strongly defended the new agricultural laws that have sparked mass protests from farmers near Delhi. Prime Minister Modi also accused the opposition of betraying and misleading farmers and of supporting the protests to further its own agenda.
Here are the top five quotes:
- If someone has any concerns, then with bowed head, hands folded, humbly, we are ready to dispel their fears.
- Talking about the end of the MSP after the new laws is the biggest lie in history. I want to assure all the farmers in India that MSP is here to stay.
- (The opposition) is used to lying, using farmers to vote. After winning the elections, they sit back and profit from corruption.
- (The opposition parties) are only using them (farmers) for politics to find relevance today, as they have lost their political ground.
- They fear Modi will get the credit for the reforms. Please take the credit, for me the only thing that matters is the growth and progress of the farmers.
