The farm sector will attract private investment only if traders are assured that the govt will not put a constraint in their selling and purchasing price.
During his radio programme Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi shares stories of farmers and says farm bills have empowered them, giving them the freedom to sell produce outside mandis.
Govt says farmer should be free to sell to who he chooses, where he chooses, when he chooses. But fact is outcomes vary across crops & geographies, over time.
Farmer's image tweeted by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is from 2011, while the photo posted on Twitter by Congress handle was from a 2012 report of The Economist.
