Amit Shah (BJP President): The Budget takes development to the poorest and most underprivileged classes. It is a huge step towards realising PM (Narendra Modi's) goal of doubling farmers' income by 2022. The MSP (Minimum Support Price) will be 1.5 times of input cost. For the first time since independence, something like this has been done. Onion and potatoes often caused a lot of stress in the farm sector, and that has been addressed. Institutional credit to agriculture has been raised to Rs 11 lakh crore. The BJP welcomes it.
