👉🏻 BJP Government in Punjab will ensure MSP for all crops on Haryana pattern: Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon

👉🏻 Newly constituted BJP Kisan Morcha state team seeks guidance from Dhillon

Chandigarh, October 10-The newly constituted state team of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Kisan Morcha held an important meeting with BJP state president Kewal Singh Dhillon, here on Saturday, wherein Dhillon said that the party is promising to ensure minimum support price (MSP) for all crops in Punjab, on the pattern of Haryana government.

While guiding the newly appointed office-bearers, Dhillon urged them to work with dedication and commitment for the party. “The “poor policies” of the Aam Aadmi Party government had pushed Punjab towards financial distress and the concerns of farmers are being neglected. Punjab’s prosperity was possible only when its farmers were prosperous”, he said.

Criticising the AAP government, Dhillon said the party had promised before the elections that it would ensure minimum support price (MSP) for all crops within five minutes of coming to power. However, he alleged that over the past four-and-a-half years, the government had failed to deliver on its promises to farmers.

Dhillon said the Union government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is taking several steps for the welfare of farmers. The Centre is providing MSP for wheat and paddy to farmers in Punjab, while the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme is extending financial assistance to them. The subsidy is also being provided on urea fertiliser, and a bag costing around ₹2,800 is being made available to farmers for ₹266, he added. Dhillon said the BJP government in Haryana is providing MSP for all crops and that if the BJP formed the government in Punjab, it would extend MSP coverage to all crops, including fruits and vegetables. He said the proposed policy will provide greater support to farmers and strengthen the agricultural sector in the state.

Urging the Kisan Morcha office-bearers to intensify their outreach, Dhillon asked them to take the farmer-friendly policies and initiatives of the Modi government to every village and household. He stressed the need to inform farmers about the schemes and measures being undertaken for their welfare. During the meeting, the Kisan Morcha state team, led by its state president Lakhwinder Singh, felicitated Dhillon and assured him that the organisation would work to strengthen the BJP at every level.
