Kamal Patel, the state agriculture minister in Madhya Pradesh has said that those protesting in Delhi were not farmers’ organisations at all, but organisations of brokers, and anti-nationals. Kamal Patel said this while addressing a campaign programme of BJP.
“500 farmers’ organisations! It almost seems like these have come up just now. They are growing like mushrooms. They aren’t farmers’ organisations at all, but organisations of brokers, and anti-nationals. These so-called farmers’ organisations are actually working for foreign powers which don’t have India’s best interests at heart. These so-called farmers are being sponsored by foreign powers, and we will expose them,” Patel said.
