Social media and political circle are abuzz with speculation that Rahul Gandhi may have got a tip from government sources. The Congress, however, said that Rahul Gandhi is a visionary leader.Addressing the nation on the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti, Modi today said that the three farm laws were for the benefit of farmers but “we could not convince a section of farmers despite best efforts”.The goal of the three farm laws was to empower farmers, especially small farmers, he contended.It is important to note here that it took the Modi government almost a year to repeal the farm laws after the farmers’ agitation began. Farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and UP had arrived at Delhi’s borders on November 26 last year, demanding the repeal of three farm laws – The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act.As per an estimate, about 700 people have died during the protests due to various reasons.
