There are no clear signs of being serious about it. them on the issues raised by SKM. “We have written a letter to the Prime Minister. We are waiting for the government’s response till November 26, when we will partly celebrate a victory (to withdraw the agriculture laws) and partly take our agitation forward. SMEAIKS Secretary and former CPM MP Hannan said Mullah,
“The SKM has called a meeting on November 27, where we will decide where the agitation will go… It will depend on whether the government invites us for serious talks or not,” Molla said.

Moreover, there is a significant difference between the CACP’s launch of C2 and the projection of the same by different states,” the note explained.
Citing an example, it mentions that for paddy, while a state government estimates a C2 cost of Rs 2,114 per quintal, the CACP calculates only Rs 1,559 per quintal. It is no surprise that the CACP feels that the MSP of paddy for the kharif marketing season 2021-22 is remunerative at Rs 1,940.
