The opposition had raised the question in Parliament
Some opposition members raised the issue of MSP in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday. The MPs alleged that the report of the committee formed by the government for Minimum Support Price (MSP) of agricultural products has not come, raising questions about the existence of the committee. While participating in the discussion on the demands for grants to the Agriculture Ministry for the financial year 2025-26, Sudhakar Singh of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) said that even the interim report of the committee formed on MSP has not come yet.
