Farmers’ interests will be protected: PM hails agri bills
Description
Welcoming passage of agricultural reform bills in Lok Sabha, PM Modi on Thursday allayed fears about the consequences of the legislations and said there were elements trying to misguide people but farmers’ interests would be intact and the MSP regime will persist. “Passage of the bills on agricultural reforms in Lok Sabha is a great moment for farmers,” he said in a series or tweets. “The bills will do away with middlemen and other impediments in growth of farmers,” he added. He said the reforms will bring in new opportunities for farmers to sell their produce, which will enhance their profits. “The new bill not only will help in technological growth of the agricultural sector but also empower farmers,” he said.
