Saini challenges non-BJP states to implement MSP for 24 crops

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has challenged non-BJP ruled states to implement minimum support price (MSP) for 24 crops, asserting that Haryana has become the first state to issue a notification for it. Speaking at a ‘dhanyavad’ rally in Indri today, Saini said, “We have already issued the notification regarding procuring all 24 crops on MSP. I challenge the governments of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi, Karnataka, and Telangana to implement the same instead of politicising the matter.”

Braving cold weather and rainfall, a large crowd gathered at the rally, which Saini said demonstrated the public’s trust in the government. “This turnout in such weather conditions reflects the affection and trust of the people. I wholeheartedly thank everyone,” he said, emphasising the mandate given to the BJP for a third consecutive term.

Responding to Congress leader Karan Dalal’s comments on EVMs, Saini hit back, saying, “The public has completely rejected Karan Dalal. He cannot even comment on the constituencies where the Congress won. Congress leaders were already preparing to form their government, but the people wiped them out entirely.”

During the event, Saini, accompanied by Indri MLA Ram Kumar Kashyap, Karnal MLA Jagmohan Anand and BJP district working president Brij Gupta, inaugurated and laid foundation stones for development projects worth Rs 11.33 crore. Key projects included a 33 KV sub-station in Mughal Majra village and a swimming pool in Matak Majri village, costing Rs 9.41 crore, as well as sub-health centres in Bibipur Jattan and Daniyalpur at an estimated cost of Rs 1.28 crore.

Additionally, Saini pledged to address waterlogging issues in Dhanaura escape to prevent crop damage in surrounding villages. He also announced efforts to grant ownership rights to residents of wards 10, 11, 12, and 13 in Gudha Indri after inspections. Other commitments included the expansion and beautification of the herbal park and the construction of a 2.5 km paved road along the Indri Escape Drain.

“The double-engine government is dedicated to holistic development and addressing public issues,” Saini added.
