Chandigarh, Oct 4 (UNI) While assuring the farmers that MSP regime will continue, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said that the new farm acts recently introduced by the Central Government are in the larger interest of farmers and the positive impact of these reforms in the agriculture sector will be visible in the near future.
Efforts are being made to ensure that farmers earn income of minimum Rs one lakh per acre, the Chief Minister said while addressing the progressive farmers during the “Progressive Farmers Conference and Discussion on Agriculture Acts” organized by Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department and Haryana State Agriculture and Marketing Board (HSAMB) at Karnal on Sunday.
Lambasting the Congress Party for misleading the farmers for their vested interests, Mr Khattar said that today demand is being raised to bring MSP under the Act. The Congress remained in power in Centre and State on different occasions between the year 1966 to 2014 and why they did not bring any Act to give legal guarantee to MSP, he questioned.
