APMC Act abolition in Bihar main reason for farmers’ distress, will ensure justice: Congress

The Congress party claims that the abolition of the APMC Act by the Bihar government in 2006 is the main reason for the distress faced by farmers in the state. Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav interacted with farmers at a Kisan Mahapanchayat in Bihar’s Kaimur district to address their grievances. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh criticised the Modi government for labeling protesters as anti-national, while Rahul Gandhi engages with farmers and learns from their experiences.
