Govt Bulldozed Three Farm Laws, Agriculture Can’t Be Run Sitting in Delhi: Sharad Pawar

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday criticised the Centre for excluding state governments and not consulting them on the three new contentious farm laws, which has triggered protests by farmers since the last one month.

The clearance of the laws has prompted thousands of farmers to camp on the borders of the national capital since November 26.

In a stinging remark, the NCP supremo said that the agriculture sector of the country cannot be run sitting in Delhi. “Agriculture can’t be run by sitting in Delhi as it involves hard-working farmers in villages and a bigger responsibility for this subject lies with state governments,” Pawar told news agency PTI.
