Nayab Singh Saini said seeing the farmer-friendly decisions of the Haryana Government and the arrangements made in the mandis for crop purchase, farmers of neighbouring states are also willing to sell their crops in the mandis of Haryana. Taking a dig at the Opposition, he said the Congress is not able to digest the farmer-friendly policies of the government. For the Congress, which claims to protect the interests of farmers, their own interests are paramount, not the interests of farmers. He said in other states, farmers had to agitate to get their crops purchased at MSP, whereas in Haryana, the government made robust arrangements and every grain of the farmers’ crop is being purchased at MSP.
