DFRAC Editor December 7, 2021 1 min read

A video is going viral on social media in which farmers are shown throwing tomatoes. The viral video is being linked to the recently repealed agricultural laws by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The viral video was captioned – “Tomato brokers are not giving the right price to the farmers in South India, they are giving 75 paise per kg. That’s why farmers are throwing tomatoes on the side of the roads, there is a shortage in North India due to brokers, now everyone will understand the importance of Modi ji’s agriculture law.”
