New laws will benefit farmers, says Kishan
Description
Hyderabad: Union minister of state for home G Kishan Reddy said the Centre will ensure that minimum support price (MSP) is paid for crops and the new farm laws passed by the parliament will not affect the support price. Speaking at a round table conference on farm laws, the minister, who also represents Secunderabad in the Lok Sabha, said that the legislations were made to provide freedom to the farmer to sell his produce wherever it is beneficial for him. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants the country to develop on all fronts, hence these laws were passed. Unfortunately, they are being opposed without even proper study,” he said. The minister clarified that they are ready for debate and discussion with any of the farmers’ organisation. Former state BJP president and national OBC cell chairman K Laxman said the laws were formulated after consulting several experts. Lok Satta founder Jayaprakahs Narayan said that farm laws are necessary but they will not create any wonders or magic for the farmers.
