Amid the row over three agriculture reform bills that led to one of his Cabinet colleagues quitting on Thursday, 17 September, Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured that the system of MSP and government procurement will continue.
Commenting on the opposition his government is facing over the bills, the prime minister said "many powers are engaged in creating confusion among the farmers."
“The passage of historic agrarian reform bills in the Lok Sabha is an important moment for the farmers and agriculture sector of the country. These bills will truly free the farmers from middlemen and all obstacles,” Modi said in a series of tweets.
