Text Size: A+ New Delhi: The farmer agitation hardly remains a farmer agitation anymore and is being infiltrated by Maoist and Leftist elements, Commerce and industry Minister Piyush Goyal said Saturday. He alleged that the efforts to derail the farm law improvements are in the hands of “certain elements” who are not working for the “good of India.” Goyal, who holds the additional charge of the ministries of Railways and Food and Consumer Affairs, has been at the forefront of the government’s talks with the farmer unions along with Agricultural Minister Narendra Singh Tomar. For about a fortnight now, farmers from Punjab and Haryana have been camping at Delhi’s borders, seeking the repealing of three farm laws that were passed by Parliament in September. They contend that the three bills bring in corporatisation of agriculture by removing state-controlled markets, and fear the laws will not ensure them a fair price for their produce.
