Bharatiya Janata Party National President JP Nadda on Thursday hit out at Opposition parties over their criticism of the three farm laws, saying that they did not have the courage to take bold decisions, PTI reported. He said they were supporting the protestors and accused them of politicising the crisis.
“They [the Opposition parties] do not have the political will and courage to take decisions,” he said at an event in Chennai to mark the 51st anniversary of Tamil magazine Tughlak. “It is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has the will and courage to take bold decisions, but now they’re trying to politicise the issue and are supporting the people who want to agitate.”
Nadda pointed out that Opposition parties had themselves promised agricultural reforms in their manifestoes, but were now criticising the BJP government’s laws. “They themselves wrote that APMC [Agricultural Produce Marketing committees] have to go or need changes,” the BJP president said. “They mentioned that Essential Commodities Act is an age-old law that needs to be amended.”
The BJP chief said that the only objective of Opposition parties was to support the protestors. He asked the Opposition if politics was so important that matters of national concern had to be compromised, according to The Hindu.
