#MPConversations #FarmersDilliChalo

Conversation with BJP MP. The call lasted for over 7 minutes and ended with the MP in complete silence.

Me: Sir, what is your opinion on the farmers protest against the farm bills MP: I believe the Prime Minister has introduced the farm bills to help the farmers. In fact Congress has been wanting to introduce these laws since 1950, but they never did and we did it. The farmer will have the freedom to sell the harvest anywhere he wants to.
