JP Nadda – National President, BJP:

I congratulate PM Narendra Modi Ji and extend my best wishes to all the farmers of the country for the passage of the two govt’s bills in Parliament aimed at empowerment of farmers and betterment of agriculture. I thank all MPs and political parties who supported both the bills.

Two bills passed by Parliament; Farmers’ produce trade & commerce (Promotion & Facilitation Bill and Farmers (Empowerment & Protection) Agreement on Price assurance & farm services bill will help farmers giving freedom to sell anywhere & freeing them from clutches of middlemen.

MSP was offered to farmers before, is in force now and will remain in force in future and Govt. Procurement will continue.

These legislations will play a crucial role in fulfilling Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s vision to double farmers’ incomes and better their lives

Now, farmer will be his own boss! He can make his own decisions!

The new legislation empowers farmers & gives alternative marketing channels including E marketing platform. Farmers can get better remunerative prices. Farm related problems can now be resolved at his doorstep.

It is Modi Ji’s government which has implemented Swaminathan Commission recommendations; given farmers “Kisan Samman Nidhi” scheme, offered farmers PM Crop Insurance scheme with low crop insurance premium and allocated ₹1 lakh crore fund for creating agricultural infrastructure.

In 2019 LS polls, Congress party stated they would end APMC market system. After these legislations, APMC market yards and MSP will continue.

Modi Ji’s govt is making better alternatives available to farmers. Why do Rahul Gandhi and Congress grudge farmers’ being empowered?

Congress party never undertook any reforms for empowerment of farmers. It neither had the time nor the will to help farmers. 

Misleading the farmers and the poor is the age old habit of Congress. Farmers are aware of its duplicity & will not be swayed by its fake propaganda.
