New Delhi [India], January 20 (ANI): Intensifying his attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government over newly-enacted farm laws, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that the government feels that farmers can be weary and fooled, but farmers are more sensible than the Prime Minister .
Responding to the ongoing deadlock between the agitating farmers organisation and the Centre, Gandhi said: Due to arrogance, the government feels that farmers can be weary and fooled, but farmers are more sensible than the Prime Minister.
: The NDA government which is facing the heat from a section of farmers over new Agri laws, needs to build a consensus among people through discussions, former deputy chairman of erstwhile Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia said here on Wednesday. In an interactive session with former Reserve Bank Governor Duvvuri Subbarao, organized by Manthan virtually, he said the rising fiscal deficit of the country due to COVID-19 pandemic is one of the major concerns and it cannot be allowed to continue, as it would not allow enough room for the private sector to grow . I think that one general point arises is that when you have reforms that are going to affect people, then discussion and participation et cetera is part of the process of consensus building, Ahluwalia said when asked how the present impasse could be resolved.
