Bhavantar scheme huge fraud, fix MSP for veggies: Kiran Choudhry

Sunday, 31 December 2017 | PNS | Chandigarh

Kiran Choudhry, leader of the Haryana Congress legislature Party, has dismissed the ‘Bhavantar Bharpayee Yojana’ launched by the Chief Minister, Manohar lal in Karnal as “a big sham and a huge fraud’ on the farmers of the State.

let the State Government fix MSP for veggies and procure them if it is keen to help the farmers, she demanded.

In a statement issued here, the former Excise and Taxation Minister said the scheme seeking to offer “input cost” for four crops — potato, onion, cabbage and tomato —from January onwards, consciously puts the cost of growing them way below the cost price so that the Government is not made to pay anything.

“One wonders if potatoes can be grown at the cost `4 per kg — the price fixed under the scheme. The Khattar Government should fix reasonable MSP for these

veggies and procure them at the fixed price if it really

wants to help the farmers,” Choudhry demanded.
