Centre’s agriculture bills are pro-farmer, say BJP leaders
Description
Hubballi: The agriculture bills passed and amended recently are in favour of farmers’ larger interest. Congress party is protesting just to oppose this bill without studying the ordinances in detail, alleged BJP state general secretary Mahesh Tenginakai here on Tuesday. “BJP will try to clear the doubts of farmers. Congress is unnecessarily doing politics in the matter of farmers. BJP-led governments are always with farmers and never take any anti-farmer decision,” he added. “Congress and its allies are unnecessarily creating confusion that APMCs will be closed once the amended bill comes into existence. There is no truth in the allegations, no APMC will be closed. Farmers will get MSP as earlier without any hurdles,” he said. When asked, he refused to comment on the farmers’ protest in Bengaluru and said he would only react to allegations made by Congress. The Union and state government are ready to clear the confusion of farmers pertaining to the agriculture bill, he said. To a question, Tenginakai said, “There is no question of change in leadership in the state as BS Yeddiyurappa will continue as chief minister for the complete term.” Lingaraj Patil, Shanmukh Gurikar, Nagesh Kalaburgi, Basavaraj Kundagolmath, Dattamurthy Kulkarni and others were present.
