DMK, CPI(M), Congress to oppose new agri bills in Rajya Sabha

The opposition parties are going to oppose the new agriculture bills in Rajya Sabha today.

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Member of Parliamment (MP), TKS Elangovan said, "This bill is anti-farmer, we will definitely oppose the bill in Rajya Sabha".

"Government is throwing the farmers at the mercy of co-operates.

We are opposed to these bills," said KK Ragesh, Communist Party of India (Marxist) Member of Parliament.

"This is very clear that this government's motive is to destroy our farmers and help the corporate sector.

Our party has decided to oppose agriculture bills.

Government has to reconsider the bills, at least they should have sent it to select committee," Congress MP KC Venugopal
