Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan said in the Rajya Sabha on Friday that the Narendra Modi government will purchase all agricultural produce at the minimum support price (MSP). While talking to the farmers on MSP, the Union Agriculture Minister also assured this.
This statement of Shivraj Singh has come at a time when farmers have called for Delhi Chalo regarding their demands. Shivraj Singh Chouhan said in Rajya Sabha, I want to assure you that all the agricultural produce of the farmers will be purchased by the government with minimum support. This is Modi government. This is a guarantee to fulfill Modi’s guarantee. He said, when my opposition friends were in power, they had said that they would not accept the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission. Especially on the recommendation of giving 50 percent more amount on agricultural produce. On the statement of Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar asked him to present it on record. Taking aim at the opposition, the Union Minister claimed that the previous UPA government never respected farmers and never seriously considered prices that would benefit farmers.

During the debate in Parliament, Speaker of the House Jagdeep Dhankhar reacted to Shivraj Singh’s statement. He said in support of Shivraj Singh that the honorable minister is with me. He was with me while leaving as well as while coming. The person who was known as a boy in the country will now become a farmer’s son. I have full hope that Shivraj will make his name meaningful. From today I have nominated your name.
