Previous govts lacked courage to effect farm reforms due to focus on polls: Modi

Live Mint  

Solang Valley: Taking a swipe at the opposition's protest against farm reform laws, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday those parties also had the same idea but lacked the courage to implement these measures because they focussed on elections while his government looked at the country's and farmers' welfare. Addressing his second public meeting after inaugurating Atal Tunnel in Rohtang in Himachal Pradesh, Modi said those protesting against the laws wanted farmers to live in the previous century, and are now jolted by his government's attack on middlemen. Modi also spoke of the benefits of new labour sector laws and said reforms will continue as his government works to realise its goal of "Atmanirbhar Bharat", asserting that regulations of the previous century will not work in a new century. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs Anurag Thakur and Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jairam Thakur were also present at the public meetings.
