Budget 2025: Finance Minister silent on farmers’ demands,says Cong
Though the finance minister Sitharaman has announced to reform in six areas — taxation, urban development, mining, financial sector, power, and regulatory framework,the agriculture sector remains a point of contention.
The demand for MSP as a legal guarantee and farm loan waivers has been a longstanding issue, and many farmers' unions have been advocating for these measures to ensure fairer support for agriculture.
Hitting out at the government, Congress Rajya Sabha MP and general-secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X, "The FM starts with agriculture but is completely silent on the demands of farmers and the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture -- MSP as a legal guarantee, farm loan waiver, inflation indexation of PM Kisan payouts and reforms to PM Fasal Bima Yojana."
Ramesh's criticism highlights the disappointment many feel over the Budget’s perceived lack of focus on addressing the specific demands of farmers.
In another post, Ramesh said, "Make in India that had become Fake in India now has a new name: National Manufacturing Mission."
