Big preparation: MSP can get the legal deposit, the central government can take steps before elections

Posted on 23rd Sep 2021 by rohit kumar

The government can legalize MSP before the assembly elections to bring back the three agricultural laws and to woo the farmers for the demand of MSP. BJP leaders have also suggested to the high command to increase the sugarcane price and make a law on MSP. Farmers have demanded C-2 plus 50 instead of making the present MSP a guarantee law.

 

 

This work can be done before the UP assembly elections

Farmers of UP, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Punjab have been agitating on the border of Delhi for the last ten months. United Kisan Morcha is conducting mahapanchayat in UP and Uttarakhand. RSS-affiliated Bharatiya Kisan Sangh has also advocated for a guarantee law on MSP. Meanwhile, there are indications from the central government to make MSP legal. Due to the opposition of party MLAs and leaders in western UP, this work can also be done before the UP assembly elections. BJP leaders with farmer image have also suggested to the high command to increase the rate of sugarcane.

 

Not A2, MSP should be from the C2 formula: Farmer leaders say that Swaminathan will only accept the C2 formula given by the commission. State spokesperson of BKU Dharmendra Malik says that the demand of the Morcha is the withdrawal of three agricultural laws and legalizing the MSP.

 

Sardar VM Singh, president of Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan, says that he has been raising the demand for legalizing the MSP from the very beginning. Kuldeep Tyagi, president of the Bharatiya Kisan Andolan, says that robbing the farmers in the market will stop if the MSP is legalized.

 

What are the formulas of MSP?

The Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), which calculates MSP, has created three categories of cost of cultivation. A2, A2 plus FL, and C2. The A2 formula covers the cost of seeds, fertilizers, fuel, and irrigation by farmers for crop production. The estimated remuneration of the farmer family is also added to the cost of crop production in the A2+FL formula.

 

At the same time, the commercial model of farming has been adopted in the C2 formula. This includes the total cash cost and the farmer's family remuneration, apart from the rent of the farmland and interest on the total agricultural capital.
