Farm laws will benefit farmers,not cause any loss, assures CM

Varanasi: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday assured farmers that the new farm laws have been brought for their benefit and will help increase their income and would not cause any loss to them in any way. Addressing an event at the collectorate in Mau, CM Yogi Adityanath reiterated the commitment of BJP-led Union and state governments of doubling the income of farmers, and targeted the opposition for creating hurdles in the government’s attempt to break the stranglehold of middlemen by misleading farmers on new farm laws and contractual farming. “Few people are misleading farmers on the new farm laws. We assure all farmers that the new farm laws have been brought for their benefit and would not cause any loss to them. Government has clarified that the minimum support price system is not going to be stopped and mandis will also not be changed. The new laws will enable farmers to sell their produce anywhere if they get higher returns,” Yogi said.
