"Congress Firm In Commitment To Stand By Farmers On MSP": Sonia Gandhi
NDTV
In a speech packed with pointed attacks at the Modi government, Mrs Gandhi also expressed her dismay at "the outrageous" suspension of 12 opposition MPs
Sonia Gandhi came down heavily on the government this morning at the Congress' parliamentary party meeting, underlining her party's support for farmers demanding legal guarantee for MSP and compensation for the families of those who died during the farm laws protests.
Notably, though, Mrs Gandhi failed to touch upon the party's plans for the raft of Assembly elections due next year, including in the politically key state of Uttar Pradesh and in Punjab, where the Congress government is scrambling to retain power after explosive comments by Navjot Sidhu.
Mrs Gandhi, who said the Congress was firm in its commitment to farmers, slammed the ruling BJP for failing to ensure prices (at which agricultural products are sold) that meet costs of cultivation. She said her party would push for a Parliament debate on the challenges facing the agri-sector.
"We are firm in our commitment to stand by farmers in their demands for legally-guaranteed MSP, remunerative prices that meet costs of cultivation, and compensation to the bereaved families," the interim Congress chief said, as she offered praise for the thousands of farmers whose "discipline and dedication" over the past 15 months had forced the government to withdraw the three farm laws.
