He said Congress and its allies are agitating against the Act because they could not bring such a law during their tenure for farmer’s welfare and they only focused on degrading the lifestyle of farmers for decades which deteriorated the agricultural structure of the country.

The programme was held under the leadership of district president, Kissan Morcha, Ram Pal Saini.
Sat Sharma said that all three farm bills passed depict that the income of farmers is going to increase and it will double their income in coming times. He said that the new laws will make the farmer independent and fetch them a better price for their produce. He stated that the laws propose a system in which the farmers and traders can sell their produce outside Mandi’s as well and further it will also encourage the intra-State traders and this proposes to reduce the cost of transportation as well, he added.
Munish Khajuria said that the Act chalks out a framework where farmers can engage in business with agri-business company’s retailers, exporters for services and sale of produce while giving the farmers the access to modern technology.
