BJP leader Sukhminder Pal Singh Grewal has urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to declare MSP for 22 crops in Punjab.
In a press release issued here today, Grewal said if CM Mann failed to take the step, it would become evident that he was more focused on politics rather than genuinely supporting farmers. He criticised the Mann government, pointing out that despite making loud promises about procuring all 22 crops under MSP, the government had not done anything.
He further added that the Aam Aadmi Party had consistently encouraged protests and roadblocks, but now it was time for it to take concrete steps by purchasing all crops on MSP. Grewal urged Mann to make a decision in the Cabinet and introduce a legislation in the Assembly in this regard.
