New Delhi, December 26
A day after his purported comments on farm laws led to political mudslinging, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar today clarified that he never said that the Centre would bring the legislations back.
Cheap politics

“I had said that the government had made good (farm) laws. We took them back due to some reasons. The government will continue to work for the welfare of the farmers,” he said. The Congress had reacted to his earlier comments and said the Centre would try to bring back the farm laws with amendments after the Assembly elections in five states.
“There is no proposal to bring back agriculture reform laws. People like Rahul Gandhi indulge in cheap politics. These people have tried unsuccessfully to mislead the country by misquoting my statement. There is no such proposal to bring back the repealed laws,” Tomar said.
