Govind Singh Dotasra targets Rajasthan governor on farm bills

JAIPUR: PCC president Govind Singh Dotasra, while extending support to the farmers agitation against the three farm laws passed by the Centre, on Tuesday said Governor Kalraj Mishra had not yet send the three bills passed by the state assembly to the President. Dotasra said, “Two months has passed since the assembly passed the bills, but the governor was yet to send it to the president for his nod.” He questioned what prevented the governor from sending the bills to the President. “If the bill had any deficiency, let the President decide on the matter,” he said while addressing a press conference in Delhi. Governor Mishra, who is on a visit to Delhi, meanwhile met PM Narendra Modi and President Ramnath Kovind in the last two days. Dotasra said the Modi government said Modi thinks of farmers only during elections. “When he seeks votes, he projects his poor upbringing, but once voted to power, he works for the corporates,” alleged Dotasra. He said the new laws will reduce farmers to mere labourers on their own land. Nobody had demanded such a law, then at whose behest these laws were rushed through from nowhere, he asked. He said now the allies of the NDA are deserting it one by one, but the BJP is out of touch with reality. He said the prime minister only speaks his mind but never bothered to hear others opinion. He speaks of his “Maan ki baat lakein koi kaam ki baat nahi karta.”
