Amit Shah criticizes Congress on corruption, farmers' issues, and MSP knowledge ahead of Haryana elections.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday (September 27, 2024) trained his guns on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, asking if he knew the full form of MSP as he underlined that the BJP government in Haryana was procuring 24 crops at the Minimum Support Price.
Addressing a poll rally here, Mr. Shah also attacked the Congress on the issue of corruption and reservation.
Slamming the Congress on farmers' issues, he said some NGO has told Rahul 'baba' that by saying MSP (minimum support price) he will get votes.
"Rahul baba, do you know full form of MSP? Which crop is of Kharif, which one is of Rabi, do you know," he asked.
Mr. Shah said the BJP government in Haryana is procuring 24 crops at MSP. "Let Congress leaders in Haryana tell which Congress-ruled state procures as many crops," he said.
"How many crops bought at MSP in Karnataka and Telangana," he asked.
“During Congress rule, paddy was procured at ₹1300 per quintal, now it is ₹2300 and if you elect BJP government in Haryana, we will procure paddy at ₹3,100 (per quintal),” he said.
