New Delhi:Â Even as protests by farmers continue unabated against the three agriculture laws enacted by the Narendra Modi government, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has spoken in favour of the Centreâs move claiming that the new laws are being implemented across the country in line with the Bihar governmentâs decision to abolish the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees (APMC) Act in 2006, which had benefited a large number of farmers.
