New Delhi: Days after passage of farms bills and labour laws in the Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asserted that these regulations will free the farmers and workers from the cobweb of unnecessary laws.
Addressing BJP party workers on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, PM Modi took a jibe at the Opposition for misleading people by spreading blatant lies and fake propaganda.
PM Modi asked the BJP Karyakartas to reach out to the farmers on the ground and impress upon them in a simple manner as to how these new regulations will ring in reform and will empower them.
“Our ground connect will bust the “propaganda” being spread in the virtual world,” PM Modi stated.
“The reforms in agriculture will benefit most to small and marginal farmers. 85 out of 100 farmers belong to this category and they are happy. For the first time, they got an option on the price of their produce. There is a tradition of selling in ‘mandis’, now if a farmer wants he would be able to sell outside the ‘mandis’. Farmers can sell their produce as per his choice,” said PM Modi.
He said that the parties which remained in power since Independence only tried to reap political gains from farmers by making fake promises.

“Previous governments used to make a complicated web of promises and laws which farmers or labourers could never understand. But BJP-led NDA government, has constantly tried to change this situation and has introduced reforms for the welfare of farmers,” said PM Modi.
“In the last few years, the NDA government made full efforts to connect farmers with banks. Over Rs 1 lakh crores transferred to over 10 crore farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Our effort was to provide KISAN credit cards to more and more farmers so they can avail loans easily,” he added.
