#disappointed trends on Twitter after PM Modi repeals farm laws

New Delhi/IBNS: A section of Twitter users are disappointed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he repealed three controversial farm laws that had triggered massive protests in and around Delhi for close to a year.

One Jitender Yadav tweeted to say he will not vote for "weakest PM" Modi.

He said, "#disappointed weakest PM of world ... Decided not to vote him , cause if any demand of a handful of people not fullfill, they can bend the country PM as per their own convenience."

Koppula Narsimha Reddy says, "Small Farmers of India lost to Rich Punjabi Brokers and also. Anti- Nationals will set back to square 1!"

Another user says, "I am #disappointed but we are with our PM. This decision have so many more conclusion and reactions. Just wait and see."

With barely a few months left for crucial assembly elections in north India, Modi on Friday announced the repeal of three controversial farm laws that had triggered massive protests by the peasants.

In a national address, Modi, the top leader of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said, "Today, I want to tell everyone that we have decided to repeal all three farm laws."

"We will finish the process to repeal the law in the upcoming Parliament session."

The new laws, which was controversially enacted amid COVID-19 pandemic, would have facilitated the farmers to sell their produce beyond the regulated wholesale market.

However, farmers mostly from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, who camped in and around Delhi for almost a year as a protest, fear they would be left at the mercy of the private players once the laws are enforced.

Even after several rounds of talks with the farmers, the government, which was ready to postpone the laws' implementation, was unable to find a solution as the protesters wanted the complete rollback of the reforms.
