What’s black about the laws, asks VK Singh

New Delhi, November 20

A day after PM Narendra Modi reached out to farmers with his stunning public apology on the farm laws and announced their repeal, Union Minister VK Singh asked what was black about these legislations save the ink in which these had been written.

On a tour of poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, the Minister of State for Aviation and Road Transport and Highways claimed: “There is, in fact, a race for supremacy among farm union leaders and they can’t think beyond that.” The PM has announced the three laws would be repealed in the winter session of Parliament.

The Opposition will now have to go back to the drawing board to redraw poll strategies, especially in UP and Punjab. With the PM casting away the farm laws, the BJP hopes to consolidate its presence in UP. — TNS
