Swaminathan Committee’s report and the recommendations of the Karnataka Agricultural Prices Commission.
In a release, Dr. Kammaradi, who had recommended to the government to ensure legal status for MSPs, said that the Congress was worthy of getting the support of farmers through such a poll promise. He hoped that other political parties too would include such promises regarding MSPs in their manifesto to protect the interests of farmers.
