Middlemen for middlemen, says Minister on those opposing farm laws
PANAJI: Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Sunday alleged that parties opposing the newly enacted farm laws were acting as “middlemen for middlemen.” Talking to reporters on the second day of his visit to Goa as part of the ruling BJP’s initiative to create awareness about the farm laws, Javadekar said the actual situation is that farmers earn less for their produce and customers have to buy it at higher rates. The middlemen hike the prices and the farm laws deal with this problem by eradicating these middlemen, he said. “Sometimes I feel the opposition parties have become middlemen for middlemen,” he alleged. The agitation against farm laws will die out on its own, the Minister added.
