AICC General Secretary Surjewala highlighted discrepancies in Chouhan’s statements regarding Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farmers. He pointed out that while Prime Minister Narendra Modi had claimed to provide MSP on input costs plus fifty percent, an affidavit filed by the BJP government in the Supreme Court on February 6, 2015, stated that this was not possible. Surjewala questioned the actual truth behind these conflicting statements.
Surjewala also contested Chouhan’s assertion that farmers did not need MSP as they were receiving prices higher than the MSP for various crops.
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh accused Chouhan of being a habitual liar. He disputed Chouhan's claim that only 7 lakh hectares of land were irrigated in Madhya Pradesh when Digvijaya Singh left office in 2003, asserting that 33 lakh hectares were actually irrigated in 1997-98. Additionally, Singh refuted Chouhan’s claim that the Congress government had not provided any debt waiver to farmers, stating that during Kamal Nath’s tenure as Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, debts of 37 lakh farmers were waived off
