Addressing a gathering of farmers ' title=' farmers '>farmers in Kerala's Wayanad, his Lok Sabha constituency, Rahul Gandhi said explained how the three farm laws will be detrimental to the country's agriculture sector.

 

"The first law says that the biggest businesses in the country and outside can buy the farmers ' title=' farmers '>farmers produce anywhere and any amount. This law will destroy the concept of mandis and farmers' market. The second law says that the biggest businesses in the country can store as much grain, fruits and vegetables as they want, for as long as they want. This is a direct attack on Essential Commodities Act, and has been designed to ensure farmer can't negotiate for price," said Rahul Gandhi.

 

"Third law is the most fantastic of them all. It says that if the farmer has a dispute about the price of what he is selling, he cannot go to court. It takes away the legal rights of the farmers," said Rahul Gandhi.

 

He said that the Congress party is against these laws and will force the central government to repeal them. "We are standing with the farmers, we will help them and ensure the BJP Govt takes back these laws," said Rahul Gandhi.
