Promise of giving 1.5 times more MSP reached farmers' bank accounts: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated six-lane widening project of Handia (Prayagraj)-Rajatalab (Varanasi) section of National Highway 19.

PM Modi arrived at Varanasi on November 30.

Addressing at the event, PM Modi said, "There is a new trend now, earlier decisions of government were opposed, now rumours have become basis for opposition.

Propaganda is spread that although decision is right, it can lead to other consequences, about things that haven't happened or will never happen.

Same is with farm laws.""The promise of giving 1.5 times more Minimum Support Price (MSP) to farmers as per Swaminathan Commission was fulfilled.

This promise was not only fulfilled on paper, but has reached the bank account of the farmers," he added.

"The new agricultural laws have been brought in for benefit of the farmers.

We will see and experience benefits of these new laws in the coming days," PM Modi further stated.
