Four time Karnataka MLA and BJP national general secretary CT Ravi on Wednesday called out DMK chief MK Stalin’s hypocritical stance over the farm laws.
He pointed out that the DMK in its 2016 election manifesto had promised to formulate a new policy to help farmers market their produce directly to national and international buyers. The DMK had promised to formulate a mechanism to eliminate middle-men, and to facilitate farmers to sell their produce at market-determined prices. The DMK manifesto had also stated that it would review the Agriculture Produce Marketing Regulation Act in tune with changing times.
However, now that the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre had undertaken the very same steps via the recently enacted farmer empowerment laws, the DMK is hypocritically opposing the newly promulgated laws.
Dear Mr @mkstalin,
Here is what DMK promised in its 2016 Assembly Elections Manifesto.
And this is exactly what is being implemented by PM @narendramodi Govt through the #FarmLaws.
Why are you peddling lies to Tamil Makkal about them?

CT Ravi, in his tweet, also went on to accuse Stalin of peddling lies to the Tamil people.
Earlier, The Commune had on January 4 also reported that the DMK is protesting against the very same things that they promised in their election manifesto in 2016. DMK chief MK Stalin was also caught lying on camera during a “We Reject ADMK” Gram Sabha meet organized as part of the campaign trail in Cuddalore. The report had also contained an explainer, busting the lies that are frequently peddled by DMK and its henchmen in the media.
