Aam Aadmi Party Vocal For The Farmer’s Agitation The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), since the inception of the farmer’s protest has been openly supporting the farmers. Kejriwal even observed a day of fasting standing in solidarity with the farmers. The Delhi CM even visited Singhu Border, one of the protest sites, and reviewed arrangements made for farmers by the city government On Friday, when PM Modi addressed the nation and defended the new farm laws and said the new farm laws will unshackle the farmer and help him grow. Kejriwal refuting the statement made by the PM asked how the new law will benefit the farmer, as outside the market, the crops are sold at half the price. "The BJP says that these laws will not harm farmers. But what is their benefit? They say that now the farmers will be able to sell their crop anywhere outside the market. But outside the market, the crop is sold at half the price. How is this a benefit? The truth is that these laws will do a lot of harm and don't have a single benefit," Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi on Friday.

BJP का कहना है इन क़ानूनों से किसानों का कोई नुक़सान नहीं होगा पर फ़ायदा क्या होगा? ये कहते हैं अब किसान मंडी के बाहर कहीं भी फसल बेच पाएगा।पर मंडी के बाहर तो आधे दाम में फसल बिकती है? ये “फ़ायदा” कैसे हुआ? सच्चाई ये है कि इन क़ानूनों से ढेरों नुक़सान हैं और एक भी फ़ायदा नहीं

Farmer’s Protest Enters 31^st day The agitation of farmers against the three agricultural laws passed by the Centre has entered its 31^st continuous day. The protesting farmers have hardened their stance again, while the Centre continues to back the laws. The three farm laws have been projected by the central government as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove the middlemen and allow farmers to sell their products anywhere in the country.
