Lashes out at Congress stating that grand old party is trying to save its sinking ship by misleading the farmers on new farm laws
Hyderabad: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan lashed out at the Congress and the other opposition parties for misleading and cheating farmers of the country.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP office in Nampally on Monday, Chouhan stated that Congress was trying to save its sinking ship by misleading farmers of the country over the new farm laws. He vowed to expose the hypocrisy of Congress and other political parties including DMK, AAP, SP, Akali Dal, TMC and Left parties on the farm laws.
He made a mention of a letter written in 2011 by NCP founder Sharad Pawar who requested reforms in agriculture then, but took a U-turn now, Chouhan pointed out.
Reading out the letter by Sharad Pawar, who served as the Union Agriculture Minister in UPA government, the MP CM said, "Pawar wrote to me that there is a need to amend the APMC Act on the lines of model APMC Act to encourage private sector investment in marketing and infrastructure, and providing alternate competitive marketing channels in the overall interest of farmers, consumers and agricultural trade."
