Voting for the assembly elections in Rajasthan will take place on 25th November. Congress has released its manifesto four days before voting. Congress has made a big move to woo the farmers in the manifesto. Congress has said that if the government is formed again in the state, it will implement the law to guarantee Minimum Support Price (MSP) on the basis of Swaminathan’s report. The election results in the state will be declared on December 3.
Rajasthan is the first state where Congress has announced to guarantee MSP as per the recommendations of the National Farmers Commission. Under this law, no one will be able to purchase the farmer’s crop at a price lower than the MSP. Those who buy crops from farmers at low prices will be fined and there is also a provision for punishment for them.
