With the wheat procurement season having commenced in Punjab, the Central Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reaffirming its commitment to farmers, has released a Cash Credit Limit (CCL) of Rs 30,973 crore for the procurement of wheat at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of Rs2,585 per quintal. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Punjab unit has expressed its gratitude to the Central Government for this significant step.
Providing details in this regard, BJP Punjab spokesperson Pritipal Singh Baliawal stated that this initiative by the Central Government reflects respect for the hard work of farmers and is a major step towards strengthening them economically.
Criticizing the current Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab, Pritipal Singh Baliawal said that the state government has failed in its responsibilities and has even forgotten to thank the Central Government for this commendable decision. He alleged that the AAP government is attempting to conceal the efforts and achievements of the Central Government and mislead the public. He further added that for the past 11 years, the Central Government has consistently released this limit on time for the prosperity of Punjab’s farmers, whereas in the last four years, the AAP government has made no notable effort in this regard.
Pritipal Singh Baliawal also emphasized that the Punjab Government must ensure that farmers do not face any inconvenience in the mandis and that every grain of their produce is procured as per the established norms. He reiterated that the Modi Government has always taken farmer-friendly decisions, and this step is a continuation of that approach. He assured that both the Central Government and BJP Punjab will continue to work dedicatedly for the welfare of farmers.
