Every year the Indian government spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana, and the world’s most expensive food procurement programme has now become the centrepiece of India’s biggest farmers’ protest in years.After calculating the cost of cultivation, the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices announces Minimum Support Prices for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark.
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat, the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCI’s rice and wheat more expensive than world prices, making overseas sales uneconomic.
Was this written by Modi himself? More propaganda. If Punjab and Haryana were so well off why the youth is dying to leave? And thousands of farmers committing suicides?
Bizarre: The counterpart to the EU's butter mountains & milk lakes are rice + wheat mountains in Delhi, while large parts of the rural population, esp. 'scheduled' castes + tribes, Muslims & particularly women + girls, are often undernourished.
Farmers protesting in only one state will not affect the entire nation. Farmers in many others states are quite happy with the policy changes. Do not end up giving false reports just because someone is paying you for it
Haha this is Modi doing what’s best for India ! ModiHaiToMumkinHai

U.S. defence chief Austin likely to visit India soon - India government sourceU.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is likely to visit India next week, an Indian government source told Reuters on Sunday, as the two allies seek to deepen military ties to counter the growing power of China in the Asia-Pacific region. He wants to encourage India to do a stupid thing. I guess he's going over to see his new mig-29s. How many ways can he demonstrate he's not for America first?

EXPLAINER: Why India is shattering global infection recordsNEW DELHI (AP) — The world's fastest pace of spreading infections and the highest daily increase in coronavirus cases are pushing India further into a deepening and deadly health care crisis. While India is massive — it's the world's second-most populous country with nearly 1.4 billion people — its size also presents extraordinary challenges to fighting COVID-19. Some 2.7 million vaccine doses are given daily, but that's still less than 10% of its people who've gotten their first shot. Overall, India has confirmed 15.9 million cases of infection, the second highest after the United States, and 184,657 deaths. It’s an humanitarian catastrophe, their PM is in total denial. They must take drastic measures ASAP, stop all travel, slam the borders shut, lockdown, etc. biggest problem is the population density, a tragedy in progress, so sad, no hope in sight.
