BJP Sankalp Patra: Time-To-Time Hike In MSP For Farmers
The BJP unveiled its election manifesto with a slew of promises for farmers, such as strengthening PM KISAN, PM Fasal Bima Yojana and news clusters for vegetable production and storage among others. “The dignity and empowerment of farmers is one of our top-most priorities. We have empowered our Kisans through a variety of measures including soil health cards, micro-irrigation, crop insurance, seed supply, and direct financial assistance under PM Kisan Samman Yojana.”
The BJP Manifesto further added, “We have increased MSP multi-fold.

BJP Manifesto: Key Points For Farmers
The document, which underlined the party’s ‘Modi ki guarantee’ slogan, lays down the Narendra Modi government’s vision and promises for every section of society. The manifesto stressed Prime Minister Modi’s focus on ‘GYAN’ – the poor, the youth, farmers and the women.
It also said that it will further strengthen the PM Fasal Bima Yojana through more technological interventions to ensure speedy and more accurate assessment, faster payouts and quicker grievance resolution.
The party further said that it will support the cultivators to make the country self-reliant in the production of pulses (like tur, urad, masoor, moong and chana) and edible oil production (like mustard, soybean, til and groundnut).
“We will support Annadatas with requisite farming inputs to increase the production of nutritious vegetables by establishing new clusters for the production of essentials like onion, tomato, potato etc. We will also set up storage and logistics facilities at these clusters,” it added.
“Building on the success of the International Year of Millets, we will promote Shree Anna (millets) for food security, nutrition and environmental sustainability and make Bharat a Global Millet Hub,” he added.
The key points of the BJP Manifesto with respect to farmers, come after the ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest organised by the farmers in February this year demanding enactment of Minimum Support Price (MSP) on all the crops. The manifesto also includes benefits with respect to railways, fishery sector, women rights, transgenders and manufacturing among others.
