New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday blamed the Opposition for the ongoing stir by thousands of farmers, who have been protesting the three new farm laws by camping near Delhi’s borders, saying the peasants have been misled.
Modi was addressing the public after laying the foundation stone for a desalination plant and a milk processing and packaging plant in Gujarat’s Kutch.
