The substantial hike in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for bajra or pearl millet announced by the union government in July was seen as a key measure by the ruling BJP to win over farmers in election-bound Rajasthan and also parts of Madhya Pradesh. But the delay in government procurement of the grain, a staple in Rajasthan that votes to elect a new government on December 7, has dampened the spirits of the farmers as they are forced to sell their produce at a lower price in the open market.
