‘Farmers’ protest hijacked by Maoists and Naxalites’: Piyush Goyal

Union minister Piyush Goyal said that farmers’ protest has been infiltrated by Maoists.

Goyal said he fully trusts the farmers and government is open for discussion.

Goyal said the Narendra Modi government is working to increase farmers' income and to provide employment opportunities to the youth.

"The government's doors are open for farmer brothers for 24 hours for discussion.

If this farmers' agitation gets free from Maoist and Naxal elements then our farmer brothers and sisters will definitely understand that these farm bills are in their favour and also of the nation.

Even after that if they have any doubt, we are open for talks," he said.
