AIKS joint secretary Vijoo Krishnan said the government’s promised minimum support price which would be more than 50% of the production cost of agricultural produce.
The Narendra Modi government that promises to usher in “good days”, has betrayed the farmers, the common man and the labourers to help the corporates loot the country, claimed joint secretary of All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), Vijoo Krishnan on Monday.
Participating in a protest organised by farmers’ associations and labour unions as part of Bharat Bandh in Virudhunagar, Mr. Krishnan said the government’s promised minimum support price which would be more than 50% of the production cost of agricultural produce. However, it has enacted three farm laws that were against the interest of the farmers and the consumers.
While the production cost of garlic is ₹32 a kg, six farmers in Mansdsaur in Madhya Pradesh were killed in police firing when they protested against the offer of just ₹1 a kg for their produce.
