MSP increase for Kharif 2018-19 – A betrayal of poll promise by Modi Government. AIKSCC to meet on 13/14 July to decide agitation for MSP@ C2.(comprehensivecost)
DELHI :- The All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee feels highly
Disappointed with the Modi Government’s declaration of Minimum Support
Price for Kharif 2018-19. AIKSCC which is an umbrella organization of 194
Kisan sangathans had initiated a nationwide campaign for the MSP to be fixed
With atleast 50% profit over the production cost to be calculated as per the
recommendation of the Swaminathan Commission, i.e as per the
Comprehensive cost known as C2. AIKSCC also demanded a guarantee from
the Government that no crop would be sold less than the MSP. This was so as
Procurement by the Government @ MSP is only about 6% of the production
and Farmers are compelled to sell at rates below their production costs.
The BJP which promised MSP @ C2 in its Manifesto of the 2014elections.Mr
Narendra Modi in hundreds of election meetings also promised the same but
Later on the Government made a U turn and gave an affidavit in the Supreme
Court in the year 2015 that payment of 50 % profit Over the production cost was
Not possible. Now as a result of the AIKSCC campaign and campaign by other
Farming organizations, in 2018 the Government again took a U turn and made a
Grand announcement on 4 th of July, 2018 that it was conceding to the old long
Pending demand of the farmers by giving them 50% profit over the production
cost. Nothing has been said about the guarantee of getting the MSP.
The claim of the Government is false and is a betrayal of the promise made by
The BJP and the Prime Minister to the farmers of the country. The formula of
A2 + FL by which the MSP for Kharif crops 2018-19 was increased is nothing
but the same formula by which the Manmohan Singh’s Government fixed the
MSP for the Rabi season 2013-14. By no stretch of imagination is this
remunerative or historic but is a fraud played by the Government on the
farmers.They promised for C2 and nothing short of it is acceptable to AIKSCC.
AIKSCC has called for a working group meeting on the 13 th of July, 2018 and
the General body meeting of 194 organisations on the 14 th of July, 2018 to chalk out
The future plan of action/ agitation against this betrayal by the Government.
