MSP will stay, Oppostion misleading farmers: Amit Shah
Shah said the Opposition has been misleading farmers on the MSP system and provisions of the three new farm laws. Addressing farmers in Kishangarh village in Delhi, Shah said the welfare of farmers is the top-most priority of the Narendra Modi government.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday assured farmers that the Minimum Support Price system was and will continue in the agriculture sector.
Shah said the Opposition has been misleading farmers on the MSP system and provisions of the three new farm laws. Addressing farmers in Kishangarh village in Delhi, Shah said the welfare of farmers is the top-most priority of the Narendra Modi government.
The government was ready to discuss and consider the interest of farmers’ organisations against any provisions of three agricultural law with an open mind. He said no corporate can snatch away any farmer’s land as long as Modi is prime minister of the country, asserting that the provisions of MSP and mandi system will not shut down.
PM Modi has transferred Rs 18,000 crore to farmers as part of the second instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme in two-and-a-half years, while the Congress government waived loans of Rs 60,000 crore in 10 years, he said.
On the birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee today, PM Modi released Rs 18,000 crore to more than nine crore farmers. He urged farmers to spread information about Kisan credit card and its benefits.
After the transfer, Union Agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar urged farmers to end their protests, which have been on for almost a month.

The move came at a time when thousands of farmers were protesting against the three farm laws on borders of the capital since November 26. The talks between farmers and the Central government have hit a stalemate with farmers being adamant on their demand for the repealing of the laws.

Lok Sabha election 2024: PM Modi to hold roadshow in Ayodhya
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will offer prayers and hold a roadshow in Ayodhya.
The 2024 Lok Sabha Elections are now in progress across the country, with the first two stages having concluded on April 19 and 26. An important step in the electoral process is coming up on May 7, which is the date of the third phase. As the peak of campaigning approaches, political parties are stepping up their efforts to win over voters. Today, as part of election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is will travel to Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, where he will lead a roadshow and offer prayers at the Ram Temple.
On May 7, elections will be held for 94 Lok Sabha seats spread across 12 states and Union Territories.
The INDIA bloc and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA are the two main political groups that will compete in the 2024 Lok Sabha Election. The NDA has the BJP, the PMK, the JDU, and other political parties as members, whereas the INDIA bloc is made up of political parties like the Congress, the AAP, the TMC, etc.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi has been the subject of a complaint about his nomination from the Raebareli constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Regarding Rahul Gandhi’s nationality, his recent defamation conviction, and how the Election Commission may accept his nomination, the complaint raises some red flags.
However, in a meeting with young people impacted by the Agnipath Scheme on Saturday in the national capital, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that the National Security Advisor and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, rather than the Indian Army, created the program.
Gandhi assured the youth that this program would end and the army’s previous recruitment procedure would be reinstated should the INDIA alliance win the elections.
With echoes of abki baar 400 paar, the NDA is aiming for its third consecutive term in this general election. In contrast, the opposition INDIA alliance is running an economical campaign, pledging cash handouts to women and MSP for farmers in its manifesto.
On June 4, the results of the Lok Sabha election will be announced after the votes have been counted.

Former Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely joins BJP
Arvinder Singh Lovely said they have been given an opportunity to fight for the people of Delhi under the banner of BJP and under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
Days after resigning from the post of the Delhi Congress president in protest against the party’s alliance with INDIA bloc partner AAP and over selection of party candidates, Arvinder Singh Lovely joined BJP on Saturday. Lovely joined BJP in the presence of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva and the BJP’s national general secretary Vinod Tawde.
He, along with 4 former Congress leaders, joined the BJP in the presence of Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri. The 4 others who joined the party include former Congress MLAs who had recently left the party — Neeraj Basoya, Rajkumar Chauhan, Delhi youth Congress chief Amit Malik and Naseeb Singh.
Speaking to the media after joining the BJP, Arvinder Singh Lovely said, they have been given an opportunity to fight for the people of Delhi under the banner of BJP and under the leadership of the Prime Minister. He had full hope, and there is no doubt about it, that the BJP government is being formed in the country with an overwhelming majority. Lovely added that in the coming days, the flag of the BJP will fly in Delhi too.
Lovely’s resignation on April 28 was a setback to Delhi Congress in terms of optics and perception. Coming 4 days after former Delhi minister Rajkumar Chauhan quit the party, the resignation of Lovely, who has been heading the Delhi unit since August last year, has been a blow to the Congress’s preparations for the May 25 elections in Delhi.
After the announcement of the resignation, AAP minister Saurabh Bharadwaj took to his X handle to allude to the links between Lovely and BJP. It is the 2nd time that Arvinder Singh Lovely has stepped down as the Delhi Congress president. Lovely’s resignation came a day after more than a 1000 members of the Sikh community, including office-bearers of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, joined the BJP in the presence of its national president J P Nadda.
