Raipur: Days after new agriculture reform bills were passed in the Lok Sabha, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday said that farmers across the country will soon stage protests on the streets in various states.
“Presently, farmers in Punjab and Haryana are staging protests on the streets. Soon, farmers from all over the country will hold demonstrations on the streets,” NDTV reported Baghel as saying to ANI.
“With the implementation of these bills, the Centre is encouraging the private markets to come forward. They have removed the grain storage limit and have introduced contract farming,” he said.
Alleging that the agriculture reform bills are dreadful for the farmers, he said the reformation will also allow multinational companies to work in the sector, giving them control.
It may be recalled that on Thursday, Lok Sabha passed two bills related to reforms in agriculture marketing. The Lower House passed the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill 2020 and Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020. It has already passed the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill. These bills will now be tabled in the Rajya Sabha.
