APMC Act abolition in Bihar main reason for farmers' distress: Cong

New Delhi: The Congress on Friday said the abolition of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) Act by the Bihar government in 2006 is the "single most important reason" for the distress faced by the farmers in the state, as the party promised to provide justice to the tillers in the state.

The assertion came after Rahul Gandhi along with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav interacted with

farmers at a Kisan Mahapanchayat in Bihar's Kaimur district.
