Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge in Rajya Sabha-It seems they have not read their own data. They lie regarding MSP. Average growth rate of MSP in UPA-I was 11.10 % and in Modi government's time it is 5.53 %. Provide the data in percentage not in rupees.

Kharge- how much can you survive taking Congress name, what we did in 70 years is in front of public. You never stop talking, it is your habit what can we do? you have divided people and harassed farmers, January 26 was a conspiracy. it was a conspiracy to divide the farmers.

Agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar in RS- When Lockdown 1 happened the way people followed discipline is laudable. We did not have resources, be it PPE kit or sanitisers. But decisions taken by PM Modi and its implementation by State governments and people is unimaginable

Tomar-Earlier one could claim ownership of agricultural land and take loan against it but the building constructed on that land was not entitled to ownership claims, under Swamitva scheme now if a road passes through his fields then the property will be accounted for compensation

Tomar- I want to thank the Opposition that they discuss the three farm laws and even called them the black laws, i have been asking the farmers unions how are these laws black laws then? then i will try to correct it. How are the laws against farmers,no one was able to explain me

Tomar- want to ask Punjab farmers, we have freed the tax system, so you should revolt against someone who is taxing you. I want to request the farmers, we are committed to farmers, we have respected them, spoke to them 11 times. never used any objectionable word against them

Tomar-Only asked them the objectionable part of the law. We assured them that APMC will not be abolished. That we are ready for amendment should not mean that there are faults in the laws.

Tomar-Farmers are being misled that this law will take away their land. There is not a single provision in contract farmig law that says this. Only Congress can do farming by blood, not BJP. No provision that any trader will be able to snatch their land.

Deepender Singh Hooda of Congress interjects that a law was made that buying under MSP will not be allowed, you are trying to change that

Tomar- Under the Contract Farming Act of Punjab, if a farmer dishonours the commitment he will have to go to jail, under Central Act there is no such provision. Next time read and come, Tomar tells Deepender Hooda

Akhilesh Prasad Singh (Congress)- APMC was abolished in Bihar in 2005 by Nitish Kumar government, a farmer earns Rs 3,000 in one acre there. Whereas in Punjab and Haryana where mandis work and MSP is there, the average income of farmers is Rs 15,000

Singh-APMC was first experimented in Bihar and we know the condition of farmers there, now you know what will happen to farmers in other parts of the country. Farmers know your intentions and that is why they are protesting at Delhi borders. We support the farmers

Sardar Balwinder Singh Bhunder (SAD) Tomar ji asked what is black about these laws. 190 people have died and farmers are sitting in protest in this cold for 72 days. 80% farmers own 1-5 acre land, you brought contract farming act, can a farmer compete with a corporate?

Bhunder-after one or two years, government will have to exit market, corporates will have the monopoly. You asked how will a farmer lose land? When a big company comes it will dictate terms, no control on price, farmer will be under debt, farmer will lose land.

K. J Alphons (BJP)- the largest FDI in the world came to India. When we came to power the BSE index was 27,000 points, today it is over 50,000. This shows the confidence in the PM that people put money in the stock exchange.

Alphons- i have 34 people living in government accommodation here, thanks to Hardeep Puri ji (for the house). here we produce everything.

Alphons- the child mortality rate has come down from 89 in 1990 to 28 under Modi government. If January 26 was not treason then what was it? weapons are made in the human mind

Digvijaya Singh intervenes, says member has a chequered career from IAS to BJP to different political parties. he is quoting figures from 1990,Modi ji has been in power only 6 years. He is talking about treason..what about RSS? they never hoisted national flag from 1947 till 2003

Neeraj Shekhar (BJP)-- 1975 was dictatorship when my father was in jail for 19 months. wearing chappals does not make you Mahatma Gandhi, referring to Mamata Banerjee. why are you making personal comments about the appearance of the PM?

Shekhar - revoking 370 was the biggest achievement. common people now believe that Kashmir is an inalienable part of the country. all development projects are being implemented in Ladakh

Neeraj Shekhar (BJP)- why do you always make fun of what the PM says? when he says he is a call away, that does not mean he is there to attend the call, it means government is there to talk.

Subhash Chandra Bose Pilli (YSRCP) speaks in Telugu

Indu Bala Goswami (BJP)- PM directly communicated with people through Talli thaali and diya. ..pradhan sevak stood with people during COVID

Ramdas Athawale, MoS Social Justice and Empowerment-2021 Census should be done on the basis of Caste. Maratha community in Maharashtra, Jaats in Haryana,Rajasthan n Thakur/Kshatriyas in U.P demanding reservation, they should all get it. SC/ST should get reservation in promotion
