Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched a scathing attack at the opposition for misleading farmers over the new agriculture laws.

Speaking while inaugurating the six-lane widening project of the Varanasi-Prayagraj section of NH-19 in Varanasi, Prime Minister Modi said earlier, the decisions of the government were opposed but now the criticism is based on mere apprehensions. He said confusion is spread in society about what has not happened yet, which will never happen. He said these are the same people who have consistently tricked the farmers for decades.

Touching upon the MSP issue raised by farmers, the Prime Minister said even though MSP was declared in the past, but a very meager MSP purchase used to take place. "This deception went on for years. Large loan waiver packages were announced in the name of farmers, but they did not reach the small and marginal farmers."
