Modi govt. misleading farmers: Raju Shetti

Description

Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana chief Raju Shetti on Monday said the Centre is misleading farmers on the benefits of contract farming by passing the contentious farm Bills in Parliament. He said, “The passing of the Bills is an attempt by the government to corporatise farming. The Centre is trying to shirk its responsibility of giving farmers the minimum support price by pushing it on corporate houses.”He said corporate firms are not bound to guarantee farmers fair prices for their produce.
