Wheat MSP increased by 119% during Manmohan govt, only 57% during Modi regime: Cong
PTI, Oct 19, 2023, 5:30 PM IST
The Congress on Thursday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “silence” on granting legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price and claimed the government has raised the MSP for wheat by Rs 150 as its stocks are depleting.
Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh also took a dig at Modi for “taking credit” for this ‘big’ increase, and said while the MSP for wheat went up by 119 per cent during the Manmohan Singh government, it has increased by “only 57 percent” under the NDA regime.
“The MSP for wheat has been raised by Rs 150 per quintal. As usual, the prime minister is taking credit for this ‘big’ increase. But the reality is something else. This has happened due to the government’s wheat reserves being on the verge of being completely empty,” he said in a post on X in Hindi.
