Former Himachal CM Shanta Kumar, who headed a committee formed by Modi govt to study agricultural reforms, says most small farmers don’t benefit from MSP.
In letter to Venkaiah Naidu explaining his decision, Harivansh plays up his Bihar roots, which the ruling BJP invoked to slam the opposition for Sunday's ruckus over farm bills.
Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh visited the MPs early morning with tea, in a bid to break the impasse, but the opposition says stalemate will continue until suspensions are revoked.
During a virtual foundation laying ceremony in Bihar, Modi again mounted a strong defence of the farm bills, saying farmers will now have the freedom to sell their produce.
Amid protests against farm bills in the national capital, the Delhi Police tweeted 3 September order of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority which prohibits such activities.
Perhaps the present crisis and trauma can force our country into something resembling that special moment we found in the sixties. Perhaps we can radically alter our business environment.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Shanta Kumar never did farming. His policies were largely biased and against the peope. That’s why people of HP rejected him from State’s active politics for ever. Fake idealist.
Look at his recommendations on merit instead of saying he is not a farmer or rejected from active politics. Many agriculturists have suggested similar reforms.
