Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh today said that during the last six years of Modi Government, a number of historic steps were taken for welfare of farmers and there was a steady hike in MSP for helping in doubling their income. Interacting with Sarpanches, Farmers Organisations and local activists of the peripheral hill districts of Doda, Reasi, Ramban and Kishtwar on the new Farm Laws , Dr. Singh reiterated that the minimum support price and APMC will continue. He said, it will never be removed at any cost.<br />''<span style="color: #222222;"><br />''The Minister said that some vested interests are spreading myths about their abolition, which need to be countered at all levels. Dr. Singh said the Committees will purchase Kharif and Rabi crops as usual, but the only difference is that a farmer can sell his produces also outside their areas now and even to private traders.</span><br />
