Piyush Goyal’s Statement: A Spark Ignites the Flames of Dissent
Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s recent statement on providing Minimum Support Price (MSP) for select crops has served as a catalyst for the already smoldering discontent among farmers. Labeled as misleading by protest leaders, Goyal’s proposal falls short of addressing the core demands of the farmers, who seek comprehensive reforms to safeguard their livelihoods.

This brazen attempt to stifle dissent only serves to fuel the flames of resistance, as farmers vow to uphold their right to peaceful assembly.
