No government can guarantee the support price as demanded by farmers, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said here today even as he proposed a competitive market price for agriculturists for their produce.


"No government can ensure the support price being demanded by farmers. But I am of the view that farmers should be debt-free and they should be given a competitive market price for their produce," he said after kicking off various development works concerning roads in Yavatmal and Washim districts in Vidarbha region.


The works include repairing the old national highway passing through the districts, construction of a new national highway and also a central road.
