Amid the continuing agitation by farmers in the national capital against the Centre’s new farm laws, and several rounds of inconclusive talks between the kisan unions and the central government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to virtually address many farmers’ conferences in Madhya Pradesh on Friday.
“PM Modi will address farmers’ conferences to be held across Madhya Pradesh on December 18 at 2 pm via video conferencing,” the MP Chief Minister Office’s (CMO) said in a statement.
Speaking on the reforms earlier this week, PM Modi said that the Opposition and several farmer bodies in the past have asked for the very reforms that crores of farmers are opposing now.
“They [the Opposition] also wanted these reforms but they couldn’t when they were in power. But now that we have managed to do it, they are misleading farmers,” he added.
