Accompanying Singh was his daughter and Punjab BJP Mahila Morcha chief, Jai Inder Kaur. Their presence underscored the collaborative approach taken to address the challenges faced by the state.

However, farmer unions, persistent in their demand for legislation guaranteeing Minimum Support Price (MSP), remained steadfast in their rejection of the government’s proposal. Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, speaking to the media on Monday, reiterated the unions’ stance following deliberations on the government’s offer.

Dallewal emphasized that without a legal assurance of MSP, farmers across the nation would continue to face exploitation, a scenario deemed unacceptable by the protesting unions. Their stance reflects a broader sentiment within the farming community regarding the necessity of legislative safeguards for their livelihoods.
