Even as Rahul Gandhi promises MSP for all crops, Congress note of 2010 rejecting Swaminathan Commission surfaces

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 14 February 2024
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, reacting to the ongoing farmer protest, asserted that the party, if voted to power, would give a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) to every farmer as per the Swaminathan Commission. Even as the Congress leader was making these promises a note from 2010 punched a hole in the Congress' gameplan. The 2010 note of the then United Progressive Alliance (UPA) showed that the government had rejected recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission regarding MSP saying that a mechanical linkage between MSP and production costs could distort the market dynamics.
