Congress once promised to end APMC act in 2013

Modi government is facing heavy opposition to the agriculture bill. Not only the opposition party but also the NDA has split due to this bill. On this issue, Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal resigned from the Modi cabinet on Thursday. The Shiromani Akali Dal has been one of the oldest allies of the BJP.

PM Modi said that our government is committed to providing fair prices to farmers through the Minimum Support Price (MSP). Government procurement will continue as before.
