Congress has backed farmers’ protest against three agricultural marketing laws that give farmers the option to sell their produce directly to private actors.
Agitated farmers have argued that these laws are aimed at weakening the existing government’s support for the agricultural sector, a charge denied by the Center.
In his speech, apparently delivered at the last Lok Sabha when he was deputy for Amethi, Gandhi is heard saying that a farmer during his trip to Uttar Pradesh He asked him to explain the “magic” behind a package of potato chips that cost Rs 10 while farmers sell potatoes for Rs 2 per kg.
When asked what they thought was the reason for this, the farmer said that the factories are located far away from them and if they could sell their products directly there they would get all the money without the middlemen getting any cuts, Gandhi is heard saying in short video posted by Nadda.
That was the idea behind a food park, and this is, in a way, what farmers and workers in Amethi and 10 to 12 districts of Uttar Pradesh have been fighting for, he says in the video.
Gandhi had accused the Modi government during his first term of shelving the food park project in Amethi.
The government denied the accusation and said the park never had land.
