Those opposing new Farm Bills are enemies of farmers, supporters of exploiters: Jitendra Singh

Jammu, Oct 5 (UNI) Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh on Monday described Congress and others who are opposing the new Agriculture Legislation as enemies of farming community and supporters of the exploiters.
“Farm reforms introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi allow liberty to choose the crop cost and give the farmers the freedom to have more buyers and flexibility in choosing the price at which they sell their produce, while at the same time continuing with the established MSP system,” said Dr Singh as a part of his continuing with outreach programmes interacting with farmers and public representatives at village, Panchayat and Block level in Udhampur district.
Dr Singh alleged that the irony is that those who are masquerading as the supporters of the farmers by protesting against the Modi government reforms are actually hand-in-glove with those who have over the years held the farmer as their captive by picking up his crops at peanut price and selling it in the market at manifold price.
