‘MSP was, is & will be there,’ says PM Modi; Rakesh Tikait responds
Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to protesting farmers to end their agitation against the new farm laws and said minimum support price (MSP) system will remain in place.
He said the agriculture minister has been holding constant dialogue with farmers and has held several meetings with them and there is no tension yet, as both sides are trying to understand each other.
“I assure you that Mandis will be modernised.
Not just this, MSP was there, it is there and will remain.
Cheap ration given to over 80 crore people will continue.
Please do not try to spread misinformation,” PM Modi said in his address in the Rajya Sabha.
Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait responded saying business over hunger will not be allowed in the country and once again demanded a law on MSP.
He said, “There will not be business over hunger in the country.
If hunger goes up, price of crops will be decided accordingly.
Those wanting business over hunger will be driven out of the country.” Watch the full video for more.

There are several farmer unions and they have different issues...If the Govt creates a problem for these farmers who are marching towards Delhi, we are not far from them...We are in support of them..."

After approximately 600 lawyers sent a letter to the Chief Justice of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Congress party on Thursday. "Using intimidation tactics is typical of Congress culture. Five decades ago, they advocated for a 'committed judiciary' – they shamelessly demand commitment from others for their own selfish interests but refuse to commit to the nation," the PM stated in a post on X. "It's no surprise that 1.4 billion Indians are turning away from them," he concluded.
