Party seeks minimum support price for marine products, poultry
While welcoming the repeal of the three controversial farm laws, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) requested the Central government in the all-party meeting held in New Delhi on the eve of the commencement of the winter session of Parliament on Monday (November 29), to constitute a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to sort out the issues related to the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for various crops and make a legislation that guarantees MSP to farmers after consulting all the stakeholders in the first place.
The YSRC Parliamentary Party also sought the provision of MSP for marine products and poultry to help the huge number of distressed farmers in overcoming the crisis, as advised earlier by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Addressing media persons after the meeting, Mr. Vijaya Sai Reddy said the Centre had stipulated MSP for 23 crops only whereas the Andhra Pradesh government was giving MSP to 24 commodities in addition to those crops.
