Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge has said that if the INDIA bloc comes to power at the Centre, they will exclude agricultural equipment from the GST ambit. Mallikarjun Kharge criticised PM Modi-led BJP government at the Centre for firing tear gas at protesting farmers. 

Kharge said, ‘Punjab and Haryana, despite having less land geographically, produce the most in the entire country. The country gets food from these two states. The farmers here think that their prices should be good and fair according to the MSP. Farmers agitated (2020-21) and put forward their demands before the BJP government. But still, the government did not agree. Tear gas shells were fired at them. The farmer remained sitting on the streets for the whole year’. He also promised legal MSP guarantee and 10 kg of free grains distribution to the people. 

Congress President further addressed the drug problem in the state and termed it as the biggest challenge for the future of Punjab. He said the farmers are selling their land and sending their children abroad due to the fear that they may fall into drug addiction because employment opportunities are not available here. Kharge also stated that demonetisation and wrong GST have caused great harm to the MSMEs of Punjab and promised to support MSMEs, if the congress comes to power.
