Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized Congress for rejecting the MS Swaminathan report on MSP, citing a UPA cabinet note that claimed it would distort the market. She highlighted the increase in agricultural allocation from Rs 21,934 crores in 2013-14 to 1.23 lakh crores in 2024-25, and the Modi government's implementation of the PM Kisan scheme, benefiting over 11 crore farmers.
