Sharad Pawar’s letter to private companies for entry into agriculture sector, BJP leader’s allegation

New Delhi: BJP leader BJP alleges that farmers’ organizations are playing a double role. L. Santosh (bl santosh bjp) has done. Recalling that in 2008, farmers’ unions had demanded that private companies should buy wheat, Santosh said. Farmers’ agitation is going on on the borders of Delhi. This agitation has been going on for 10 days. Thousands of farmers are protesting on the Singhu border.

The BJP-led government at the Center has targeted farmers for allowing private companies to enter the agricultural sector. BJP general secretary B. L. Santosh tweeted a story from The Tribune, an English language newspaper in Punjab. The farmers have demanded that private companies be allowed to buy wheat. That was in 2008. Farmers in Punjab and Haryana had demanded corporate entry into the agricultural market. The same farmers’ organizations are now agitating. This has exposed their duplicity. Opposition documents have also surfaced in support of the private sector entering the agricultural sector, he said. L. Santosh said.

In November 2011, the then Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar had requested the states to give admission to private agriculture committees. He had written a letter to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. There is a need to change the existing APMC Act (Act relating to Agricultural Produce Market Committee) to encourage private investment in marketing structure. Also, alternative avenues could be opened up and new avenues for selling products could be opened for the benefit of farmers, consumers and agribusiness, Pawar had said in the letter.

For the last 10 days, farmers have been protesting against the Agriculture Act at the Singhu border. There have been five rounds of talks between the farmers and the central government. But so far no settlement has been reached. The next round of talks between the farmers and the Union Minister will be held on December 9. Earlier, the farmers had called for an India Bandh on December 8. Opposition parties and organizations have also expressed support for the bandh.

‘Farmers are not opposed to agricultural laws, opponents are provoking them’

Farmers’ ‘Bharat Bandh’ supported by 11 opposition parties including Congress and NCP; He will also meet the President

True farmers are with the government and in support of agricultural legislation. The BJP says that farmers are being deceived through opposition or anti-national elements. Also, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has expressed the possibility of some ‘Khalistani element’ in the farmers’ movement. Khattar also said that the government has information in this regard.
