Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar — who is leading the negotiation with about 40 farmer unions along with Food Minister Piyush Goyal and Minister of State for Commerce Som Parkash — asserted the three new farm laws are beneficial for farmers and the Government is ready to give a written assurance that the MSP and mandi system will continue.
He put the blame on Opposition parties for misleading the farmers and accused them of changing their stance on the reform process.
