The attempt to remove constraints on farmers as to where they sell their produce should in normal course be welcome. After all any move that could get them a better price shd be good. BUT in India anything privatized or where Govt cedes control means cronyism.
So a few big companies could soon decide among themselves the price and farmers may lose out as the APMC's lose their sheen and MSP goes out of vogue. So even a right step ends up with a wrong result. This is bcos of inherent lack of ethics in our big companies & Govt officials
Over a period of time thanks to the rampant cronyism, free market economics starts to look bad and Govt control over everything starts to look a better option than it really is. Unless cronyism is curbed and true capitalism is able to thrive our economy is doomed to struggle
Businesses are unethical everywhere but in many countries there are institutional checks which keep them in line. In India those institutions hv crumbled. That's why a good reform like #AgricultureBill is seen with suspicion as is every attempt at privatization. #farmersbill
