Farmers and commission agents will suffer huge losses due to the new policy of the Central Government
KAITHAL: National Chief General Secretary of All India Trade Board and Provincial President of Trade Board Bajrang Garg, after talking to the farmers and commission agents, said that the new draft of the Central Government is anti-farmers and agents. Farmers and commission agents will suffer huge losses due to the new policy of the Central Government.

Farmers have been agitating on the streets for a long time due to anti-farmer policy. Bajrang Garg said that farmer leader Jagjit Dallewal has been on fast unto death for 44 days. The central government should leave its stubbornness and solve the problem by talking to the farmers. He said that around 750 farmers have lost their lives in the last 13 months of agitation. The central and state governments say that every grain of the farmer's crop will be purchased at MSP. When the Central Government is talking about purchasing crops at MSP, then a law should be made for purchasing crops at MSP.

Bajrang Garg said that the Haryana government is talking about purchasing 24 crops on MSP in the state, which is a complete bundle of lies whereas 24 crops are not produced in Haryana. The government only does the drama of purchasing the crop from the farmer at MSP, whereas the farmer has suffered huge loss by selling his paddy at Rs 200 to Rs 400 per quintal less than the MSP. Bajrang Garg said that due to the agitation by farmers in Punjab for a long time, 50 percent of the trade and industry in Haryana has come to a standstill.
