Nagpur: Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President and state Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat on Saturday alleged that the three farm laws enacted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi government by violating democratic norms and Parliamentary rules will uproot the farmers of the country. By enacting these laws, the Prime Minister who already works for big industrialists, is now trying to enslave the farmers to these industrialists as well.
Leading farmers and party cadres into staging a rally that surrounded the Raj Bhavan in Nagpur the MPCC president strongly criticized the central government move and added that the Congress party will not allow these attempts to succeed. He demanded that the three black agricultural laws imposed by the central government on farmers be repealed and also demanded that fuel price hike be taken back. To protest against the frequent fuel hike, hundreds of women lit up stoves on the streets and were seen cooking on stoves.
Addressing the rally, Balasaheb Thorat launched a scathing attack on the Central government. He said that the black laws brought by the Modi government will destroy the farmers. These laws will increase hoarding and inflation. This law will allow industrialists to make huge profits. There is nothing in these three laws to benefit the farmers. But the central government does not seem to care about the farmers. Thorat warned that the struggle would not stop until the central government reversed the black laws and fuel price hikes were rolled back.

Speaking on the occasion, Energy Minister Dr. Nitin Raut said that the Modi government is constantly working in violation of the Constitution. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) led central government is concerned only with select businessmen, not the general public. The Congress party is with the farmers in the struggle and this fight will not stop unless the laws are withdrawn.
Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development Minister Sunil Kedar said that this is a do-or-die situation for the farmers. Farmers will survive only if the anti-farmer black laws are repealed. In Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, even 10 farmers did not get guaranteed price when the market committees were scrapped. If the market committees are scrapped, farmers will not get good prices for their produce.
MPCC Working President and Women and Child Welfare Minister Yashomati Thakur said that farmers need work and not “Modi’s Mann ki Baat”. The farmers’ struggle against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the country will not stop unless the black laws are repealed.
Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation Minister Vijay Wadettiwar said that the farmers were not taken into confidence while drafting the laws, adding that the people would teach a lesson to all those liars who spoke in support of the law. The true face of the BJP government has now come before the people and the farmers of the country will teach BJP a lesson.
