Eyeing the upcoming Punjab elections, PM Modi on Friday declared that in the coming winter session of parliament, his government will take back the controversial farm reform laws.
“We will take constitutional measures to repeal these farm laws. Goal of three farm laws was to empower farmers, especially small farmers.
