"The content of the second law is that big businessmen can store as much food grains, fruits and vegetables as they want. They can hoard as much as they want. Content of the second law is to end the Essential Commodities Act. It is, to start unlimited hoarding in India," Rahul Gandhi said.
During the debate on Budget 2021, he said that "The content of the third law is that when a farmer goes before the biggest businessman of India to demand the right price for his crops, he will not be allowed to go to the Court."
"There was a slogan for family planning 'Hum do humare do'. Like Corona comes back in a different form, this slogan has come back in a different form. The nation is run by 4 people - 'Hum do humare do'. Everyone knows their names. Whose govt is it, of 'hum do, hamare do'," Gandhi said.
He further said that the "intent of the first law was to give one friend, the right to have all crops of India. Who'll be at a loss? small businessmen and those working in the mandis. The intent of the second law is to help the 2nd friend. He keeps 40 percent of India's crops in his storage."
Furthermore, he said that "PM says he has given options. Yes, you gave 3 options - hunger, unemployment and suicide."
