RJD leader and INDIA bloc’s chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday made several promises during a rally in Patna ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
Bihar Elections 2025: Farmers to Get Bonus Over MSP, Says Tejashwi Yadav
Tejashwi announced that if the INDIA bloc comes to power in Bihar, farmers will receive an additional Rs 300 per quintal for paddy and Rs 400 per quintal for wheat as a bonus over the existing Minimum Support Price (MSP).
He said, “Whether it is paddy or wheat, even today under the current government, farmers are not getting the MSP properly. The middlemen are the ones who benefit. When our government comes to power, we will ensure farmers get their due.”
