Patna: Bihar Agriculture Minister Amrendra Pratap Singh has given a controversial statement about the protests of farmers running in the capital of the country. Talking to presspersons in Vaishali's Sonpur on Sunday, Singh has termed the farmers' movement as a broker's movement. He said that there are 5.5 lakh villages in the country, but there is no peasant movement happening in any village.

It is noteworthy that the farmers' movement has been going on for more than 3 weeks on the Delhi border against the agricultural laws brought by the central government. Regarding this, Agriculture Minister Amrendra Pratap Singh in Bihar's NDA government said that 'The movement going on along the border of Delhi and Haryana is not a farmers' movement but a movement of brokers'. Minister Amarendra Singh further said, "Are the farmers only on the borders of Delhi and Haryana?"

He added that there are 5.5 lakh villages in this country. Which village's farmer is agitating? Are farmers in Bihar agitating? In 5.5 lakh villages, farmers have no meaning and they all say that agricultural law is in their interest. In Delhi, a handful of brokers are agitating as farmers and the media is showing it. If there had really been a farmers' movement, there would have been fire all over India.
