The district head of Kisan Sabha said that on one hand, the government gives less MSP by adding the wrong formula. On the other hand, increasing oil prices day by day is also adding to people's problems.

Along with farmers, ordinary citizens of the country are also suffering huge losses due to the rising prices of petrol-diesel and gas. People are demonstrating across the country against rising prices.
