Continuing to back the demands of farmers, BJP MP Varun Gandhi has piloted a private member’s bill seeking legal guarantee of MSP with financial outlay of Rs 1 lakh crore.

The Bill titled—The Farmers Right To Guaranteed Minimum Support Price Realisation Of Agri-Produce Bill, 2021—aims to provide legally guaranteed minimum support price (MSP) for 22 crops that should be set at a profit margin of 50 per cent over the comprehensive cost of production.
