    The irony! Climate champion standing in support of farming practices that have led to poisoned land, vanishing water-table and the “cancer trains”. India can definitely do better. India is trying to do better by bringing in long awaited farm reforms. Pls don’t muddy the waters.

    Changes to the Essential Commodities Act & the Agriculture Produce Markets Committee (APMC) - these structural reforms have been long overdue. They free the Indian farmers and are critical for growth of agri sector. Should have happened decades ago. Don't be fooled by politics.
