These three laws will not directly benefit the farmers but the capitalists. Before bringing the law, no opinion was taken from the farmers organizations. Despite heavy opposition in both houses of Parliament, the BJP government forcibly passed the Agriculture Act.

These black laws will only harm the farmers. The law restricting the storage of grains has been abolished by the first law. Through the second law, government agricultural markets and markets will be destroyed. By the third law, capitalists, private investors, companies will enter into commercial agreements with farmers on their terms. Farmers will be made laborers in their own fields. If there is any dispute in the contract, the farmers will have to go round the bureaucracy and system. This will lead to exploitation of farmers and land grab.
