Punjab BJP promises MSP for all crops on Haryana model if voted to power
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, October 10, 2026: Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon has said that the party will ensure minimum support price (MSP) for all crops in Punjab, including fruits and vegetables, if it forms the government in the state, following the model adopted by the BJP government in Haryana.
Dhillon made the announcement during a meeting with the newly constituted state team of the BJP Kisan Morcha in Chandigarh on Saturday. The delegation, led by Kisan Morcha state president Lakhwinder Singh, met him to seek guidance and discuss the organisation’s work among farmers.
Criticising the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, Dhillon alleged that its policies had pushed Punjab towards financial distress and that farmers’ concerns were being neglected. He said the state’s prosperity depended on the well-being of its farming community.
Dhillon claimed that the AAP had promised before the 2022 Assembly elections to ensure MSP for all crops within five minutes of forming the government, but had failed to fulfil its commitment over the past four-and-a-half years.
He said the BJP government in Haryana was providing MSP for all crops and promised that a BJP government in Punjab would extend similar coverage, including to fruits and vegetables. He said the proposed policy would offer greater financial support to farmers and strengthen the agricultural sector.
Highlighting the Centre’s farmer-related schemes, Dhillon said the Union government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi was providing MSP for wheat and paddy in Punjab, along with financial assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme.
He also cited fertiliser subsidies, claiming that a urea bag costing around ₹2,800 was being made available to farmers for ₹266.
Urging the newly appointed Kisan Morcha office-bearers to intensify their outreach, Dhillon asked them to take the Centre’s farmer-related schemes and initiatives to villages and households across Punjab.
The state team felicitated Dhillon during the meeting. Lakhwinder Singh and other office-bearers assured him that the Kisan Morcha would work to strengthen the BJP’s organisational presence at every level.
