“Great news! Thankful to PM for acceding to the demands of every punjabi & repealing the 3 black laws on the pious occasion of GuruNanakJayanti. I am sure the central govt will continue to work in tandem for the development of Kisani!, ” tweeted Singh.

While repealing the controversial farm laws, PM Modi said, “We must have fallen short somewhere that we were not able to explain to a section of farmers why the three laws were beneficial."

“We couldn't convince a section of the farmers of the benefits of these farm laws. Many scientists tried to explain to them through various media. We tried to listen to the farmers and their remarks about their issues with the laws,” Modi.

Seen as a political move ahead of elections in major states such as Uttar Pradesh, the PM said the government aimed to strengthen small farmers and ensure they make a fair price for their produce. “Farmers and agricutlure scientists had been asking for these laws for years. Many governments contemplated bringing these laws, but we brought it. Crores of farmers welcomed these three laws and supported it. I thank them for their support,” added Modi.
