‘BJP trying to privatise agri sector’

Description

Trichy: DMK youth wing secretary Udhayanidhi Stalin has accused the central government of attempting to privatise the agriculture sector. Speaking at TVS toll gate in Trichy city on Monday as part of his second phase of Vidiyalai Nokki campaign, he said the enactment of the three farm laws was a step towards privatisation. “The 100 days of work under Mahatma Gandhi national rural employment guarantee scheme (MGNREGS) will be increased to 150 by the DMK government,” he said. The DMK leader continued his attack on NEET claiming that it had taken the lives of 15 MBBS aspirants in Tamil Nadu due to their failure to crack the test. At Manapparai, he said though DMK had differences with Jayalalithaa, the party will probe the episodes surrounding her death. tnn
