Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday took aim at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, challenging his understanding of the minimum support price (MSP) during a poll rally in Haryana. Shah emphasized that the BJP government in Haryana is procuring 24 crops at MSP, contrasting it with Congress-ruled states.

Continuing his critique, Shah questioned Gandhi's knowledge of crops like Kharif and Rabi. The BJP leader also highlighted the increase in paddy procurement prices from Rs 1,300 per quintal during Congress rule to Rs 2,300 now, pledging Rs 3,100 if BJP is re-elected in Haryana.

He asserted that BJP's governance in Haryana has eradicated corruption, unlike the Congress era dominated by middlemen and commission-based operations.
