BJP President Amit Shah said that Modi government within first three years of coming to power has all but fulfilled its poll promise of giving farmers a support price that is 50 per cent more than cost of production of a crop.

He said in an interview, "The minimum support price (MSP) paid to farmers for their crops is now 43 per cent more than the cost of production if the cost of land is excluded from price calculation" "There is a dispute on one issue. Swaminathan calculated the formula (on MSP) by including the land price, which can never be possible to implement," he said.
