We'll purchase black gram at MSP and provide additional Rs 600 per quintal: CM
Informing the House about the Cabinet decisions, CM Mohan Yadav said that farmers are the backbone of our economy. We have dedicated today's entire Cabinet meeting to farmers. This is the first time in the country that the government has taken a major step to promote the production of pulses, black gram, and mustard, an oilseed crop.
The Chief Minister stated that the government would also purchase black gram at the support price, and would also provide farmers with a bonus of Rs. 600 per quintal on the purchased black gram, in addition to the fixed support price. CM said mustard production in Madhya Pradesh has increased by 28 percent. This year, production is expected to reach 3.38 lakh metric tons. We are bringing the mustard crop under the Bhavantar Yojana (Bhavantar Yojana).
CM challenges Rahul Gandhi
Following the Chief Minister's statement in the House regarding the Cabinet decisions, Leader of the Opposition Umang Singhar responded, saying that Rahul Gandhi is coming, and is the government not giving these gifts to farmers under pressure from him? These could have been given earlier, why was today chosen?
To this, the Chief Minister said that the Leader of the Opposition is showing his loyalty to Rahul Gandhi, and this is a good thing. I just want to politely say that Rahul Gandhi is coming, so ask him three questions: what crops are grown in Rabi and Kharif. Just tell me which pulses are grown in Madhya Pradesh, and what oil seeds are grown here.
