Kharge slams Central govt’s farm bills
Description
Hyderabad: Congress Working Committee member and Rajya Sabha MP Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday termed the three farm bills passed by the Narendra Modi-led BJP government as controversial, anti-constitutional and anti-farmer. Stating that these bills will benefit only the corporates, he said almost all the opposition parties are opposing the legislations. “As many as 18 political parties opposed these bills and tried to stall their passage in Rajya Sabha with the contention that these bills are detrimental to the interests of the farmers,” he said. The farmers will not be in a position to sell their agriculture produce at a price they deem fit. They will not get even the minimum support price. These bills will inflict a lethal blow on small and marginal farmers who constitute 83% of the farming community in the country, he said.
