00:00And I saw that in this discussion, no one discussed the spirit of the law.

00:06Complaints were given that the method was not right, it was done in a hurry, it was not asked, this is Rata.

00:11There was a lot of discussion on the agricultural law.

00:14It was said that talk about the movement, what is black in these laws, we were not told.

00:19I want to tell two or three things in that too, what is black.

00:30You said a farmers' assembly has delivered 11 rounds of discussion and did not tell anything black, is the difference of view.

00:41Take this, now go to the new law and talk about Indian law based on this report.

00:46We have made changes that are based on this report as well, is what is mentioned in the new law.

01:24We have not come to the path of struggle and movement.

01:27If the child law is implemented, the children in Delhi will not be forced to give back the child law.

01:32If the dowry law is implemented, the women will not be forced to give dowry.

01:36But the work that you have given here, that work has come to your door today.

01:40It is sitting around Delhi in the number of lakhs.

01:43You said that the mandi is not over.

01:46It is true.

01:48There is no plan to end the mandi.

01:50Two mandis have been made.

01:52One is a PG mandi in which tax will not be imposed.

01:55And the other is a government mandi in which tax is imposed.

01:57Two mandis.

01:58One country, one constitution.

02:00One country, one constitution.

02:02One country, one symbol.

02:03One country, one election.

02:04One country, one market.

02:06So, one country, two mandis. Why?

02:08Why did you get only farmers?

02:10One mandi.

02:11And you are saying that tax has been released.

02:13Who pays tax?

02:14The buyer pays tax in these mandis.

02:16The farmer does not pay.

02:17Punjab pays 6.5%, Haryana pays 4%.

02:20And the government pays.

02:21Why is the rural infrastructure of Haryana and Punjab good today?

02:24Why are there good roads in every village?

02:26Because the tax that goes to the rural infrastructure

02:29and for the development of these mandis and farmers,

02:31this tax is used.

02:33That is why today Punjab and Haryana are at the forefront.

02:35Then it came that MSP is over.

02:38The Prime Minister said that MSP was there and will remain.

02:41Mr. Thakur also said that there is no one who can say that MSP will go away.

02:46It is true that MSP was there and will remain.

02:48But will MSP be available to all farmers and to all crops?

02:52The question arises.

02:54Do you have the strength to say that MSP will be available to every farmer in the country?

02:58Even today, the Shanta Kumar Committee says that

03:01only 6% to 16% of farmers get MSP.

03:04There are many other states in the country where MSP is not available.

03:08What you wanted was that

03:10MSP is available in Punjab, Haryana, West Uttar Pradesh.

03:13The same MSP is available in Bihar,

03:15and the same MSP is available in Punjab, Haryana, West Uttar Pradesh.

03:19You should have taken MSP to those states.

03:22But instead of taking MSP to the farmers of Haryana and Punjab,

03:27you should have taken MSP to the farmers of Haryana and Punjab.

03:31You are talking about privatization.

03:34You are not privatizing.

03:36The private sector came, but who stopped the private sector from coming to the mandis?

03:39The private sector came to the mandis and bought more than MSP.

03:42They are saying that you will get more price outside.

03:45There will be an exchange.

03:47You will get more price outside.

03:49Why do you have a problem in making this law?

03:52If there is a contract less than MSP,

03:55then it will be legal.

03:57In Haryana, in 2007,

03:59we brought a contract amendment in APMC.

04:02We allowed private companies.

04:04But we also wrote a law

04:06that if the contract is lower than MSP,

04:09then it will be illegal.

04:11And there will be legal proceedings.

04:14You are saying that if you get more, then you should do it.

04:17You should do the legal work.
