‘Farm bills to benefit crony capitalists’
Description
Poinguinim: The newly enacted law on agriculture will only help crony capitalists, South Goa MP Francisco Sardinha said. He has demanded that the central government withdraw it. “The farmers are protesting because it is evident that these bills will not bring them prosperity. Instead they will make progress for crony capitalist friends of Modi and Shah.” Sardinha said speaking at the Kissan Sammelan held in Sanguem organised by the Goa Pradesh Congress to show solidarity with the protesting farmers in North India. Citing the example of mining closure in Goa by then chief minister Manohar Parrikar, the president of Goa Pradesh Congress Committee Girish Chodankar said that the main agenda of RSS is to use the poor, including farmers, for vote bank politics in the name of Hindu unity and ultimately to have their hegemony over them.
