<h1>Farmer Leaders Criticize Union Budget for Lack of Legal Minimum Support Price Guarantee Despite New Agricultural Schemes</h1> Punjab farmer leaders expressed disappointment with the Union Budget, criticizing the lack of a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) on crops. Despite the introduction of six new agricultural schemes and an increased Kisan Credit Card loan limit to Rs 5 lakh, they argue that this will exacerbate farmers' debt burdens. Protesters, including the Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, have been advocating for a legal MSP guarantee. They questioned the government's focus on boosting only three crops for four years and called for broader MSP coverage. They also suggested reallocating funds spent on imports to support domestic farmers and ensure crop diversity.
