Saying that PM Narendra Modi is concerned more about corporates than farmers, social activist Anna Hazare warned of another fast if the “anti-farmer” provisions in the NDA government-proposed Land Acquisition Bill are not removed. “He (Modi) is concerned more about corporates than farmers,” he said.
Stating that he would go on a fast as he did in 2011 on Lokpal issue, Hazare said: “If the government doesn’t make changes in the Bill to safeguard farmers’ interests, we will launch a nationwide jail <g data-gr-id="12">bharo</g> agitation.” “I have written to the PM to make pro-farmer changes. We are awaiting the response,” he added.
