Attacking the BJP-led Centre over farm laws and other issues, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday accused it of “jeopardising” the basic structure of democracy by allegedly “encroaching upon” the rights of states.
He castigated the Central government over its “one-sided decision” to impose the farm laws and the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) on the state’s farming community.
In the name of “so-called reforms”, he alleged, the Centre was trying to destroy the existing relations and systems that had worked well for over 100 years.
Punjab’s farmers and arhtiyas (commission agents) have enjoyed age-old cordial ties among them, which the Centre was “hell-bent on damaging”, he alleged, terming the government’s “tough posturing and ill-conceived” decisions on farm laws as being against the basic spirit of federalism.
