Sep 24, 2020

New Delhi, Sept 24 (ANI): Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on farm bills stated that Congress party doesn’t understand agriculture reform bills and is misleading the farmers. “Punjab CM is just making political comments. I want to ask him, why did his election manifesto say they'll do away with APMC Act and promote inter-state trade? Congress said it in both their national and state manifestos,” Agriculture Minister. He further added, “If Congress leaders say they are now going back on their manifesto promises, I can listen to their arguments. They are only misleading farmers with baseless points. Congress & some opposition parties are misleading farmers for personal gains as they themselves couldn't bring such reforms. Manmohan Singh & Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar wanted to bring reforms, but due to pressure from some people, UPA couldn’t muster courage.”
