Agri minister changes tack on farm laws
Description
Hyderabad: Agriculture minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy on Tuesday said advantages and disadvantages of the new farm laws enacted by the Centre can be gauged only after the farm produce output is recorded for two seasons. Participating in various government programmes at Kalwakurthy in Mahbubnagar district, he said: “If the farm laws are proving to be beneficial for farmers, we will not have any problems with them. Rather, we will welcome them.” Speaking on the farm laws elaborately, he said the TRS government had reservations on the farm laws initially and even protested against them. “The Centre is going ahead with these kind of legislations. We have very little option but to implement the new laws,” he said. The BJP leaders are claiming that the laws would benefit the farmers immensely. He said the government held consultations with experts and intellectuals on the farm laws.
