New Delhi, Sep 9 (TIWN): A day after the central government hiked MSP of wheat and other agricultural produce, the Congress has said it is nothing but a cruel joke.

Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill said on Thursday, "Nation has witnessed highest fuel (lifeline of Agri sector) price hike in 75 yrs & lowest MSP hike for wheat in 12 years -- BJP only believes in 'snatching away' & not supporting the farmers -- Current MSP hike is a cruel joke on farmers already paying the price of anti-farmer BJP Govt."
