Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has demanded the central government to reconsider the three new farm laws against which farmers are staging protests. In a letter to PM Narendra Modi, the chief minister said that even when GDP growth rate has been minus 7.5 percent in the FY 2020-21, the agriculture sector has increased by 3.4 percent. Farmers are making positive contribution to the economy and they should not be given such a reward. Gehlot demanded that PM Modi reconsider the agriculture laws to protect the interests of farmers and democratic values.

“When the country was celebrating Constitution Day on 26 November, the farmers were hit by sticks and water cannon. To prevent farmers from reaching Delhi to keep their demands, roads were dug and blockers were also installed. "The central government tried to take away the right to protest against the farmers, which is not justified,” Gehlot said.

He said the farmers have irrigated the land of the country with their blood and sweat. The Centre should quickly resolve their problems by listening to their demands, the Congress leader added. The CM said the Centre brought in the laws with no discussion with farmers and experts while also ignoring the demands by opposition parties in Parliament to send the bills to a select committee.

These Acts do not mention the MSP, which has led to distrust among farmers, he added. The CM further said that with the implementation of these laws, farmers will become dependent on private players only. He also informed the PM of the amendments made by the state in the three laws to protect the interest of the farmers..
