Opposition parties are “pushing a political agenda” by spreading lies about laws that will benefit farmers, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday as he offered talks "based on facts and logic".
Modi was speaking at a virtual event transferring over Rs 18,000 crore to more than 90 million farmers when he forcefully defended three agricultural laws that his government says give farmers the freedom to sell their produce.
