Amid the Bharat Bandh, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar has given a big statement. He said in favor of the government that the farmers had demanded additional price for the cost and we are giving them 50 percent above the cost. The Congress never made any offer during his tenure.

The Union Minister said that it is PM Modi who gives it. The opposition that is talking to withdraw these laws is hypocritical, as they passed the Contract Agriculture Act while in power. The Congress in its manifesto said to implement these laws.
