Siliguri: Criticising the contentious Farm Bills, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee stated that in no way her government will let farmers face any hardship as the Centre's anti-people legislation will only help hoarders. In the same breath, Banerjee expressed her annoyance over the Centre's communal politics and came down heavily, without naming BJP, saying that they never take up any development projects and try to reap benefit by initiating riots. It will give upper hand to hoarders and farmers will not get food to eat despite cultivating crops." Stating that in no condition her government will let farmers face any difficulties, Banerjee directed the agriculture department to hold a meeting with the Chief Secretary to prepare a plan of action on what the state government should do to support farmers.
