New bills will make farmers rich in 5 yrs: BJP farmers’ wing

Thanjavur: There is no truth that the new farm bills will affect the farming community, state president of farmers’ wing of Bharatiya Janata Party, Nagarajan said. The opposition parties are making false propaganda to the farmers merely for political gains, he accused.Addressing the reporters after a consultative meeting held in Thanjavur on, Nagarajan said that the new farm bill amended by the union government could change the farmers to traders.The Congress party ruled the country for 60 years and the DMK ruled the state for 25 years. However, they did nothing for the benefits of farmers. However, Prime Minister Modi has come up with 32 progressive schemes. Farmer's income will double by 2022 by the new farm law, he said. “As stated by the opposition parties including MK Stalin, the new law will not affect mandis, uzhavar sandhai, and the regulated markets. There will be no interference in announcing the minimum support price (MSP). Corporate companies cannot hoard food grains. The new law will make farmers rich within 5 years. In particular, the livelihood of farmers will be enriched by the agriculture law”, he added.He also stated that steps are being taken to benefit tenant farmers under the PM-Kisan scheme. Tamil Nadu government is also taking required actions against the people who misappropriated the scheme and everything would be streamlined soon, he said.
