Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar has reiterated that the new farm laws do not affect the current MSP system and Mandis. He said, under new ecosystem, mandis will be more competitive and cost effective in terms of services and infrastructure and both the systems will synergistically co-exist for the common interest of farmers.
Responding to NCP Chief Sharad Pawar, who
criticized the new farm laws, the Minister said, new laws facilitate
promotion of additional choice channel for farmers with choice to sell
their produce to anyone, anywhere with hassle free movement in and
outside the state to realize competitive and better net price for their
produce. He said, Mr Pawar is a veteran leader and it appears that the
NCP Chief was genuinely misinformed of the facts.
Mr Tomar expressed hope that now Mr Pawar
has the right facts, so he will also change his stand and also explain
the benefits to farmers. Mr Tomar said, Sharad Pawar is a veteran
politician and a former Union Agriculture Minister, who is also
considered well-versed with the issues and solutions relating to
agriculture and he has himself tried hard to bring the same agriculture
reforms earlier.
