It is false propaganda; laws benefit small farmers: Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Lucknow
Accusing the opposition of false propaganda against the new agri-marketing legislation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday claimed those who had made laws for bringing in foreign firms are now creating a scare among farmers over local companies.
Laying the foundation stone for a statue of warrior-king Suheldev in Uttar Pradeshâs Bahraich, Modi said his government is trying to rectify the mistakes of the earlier regimes that had failed to honour deserving leaders. Addressing the event through video conference, the PM defended the new farm laws, saying the reforms will benefit the small and marginal farmers.
