"Indian farmers need to be wary of the politics of BJP and it's Govt's #AntiFarmerLaws," Rama Rao, son of chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, tweeted.

Tomar on Friday said that the agriculture sector has received the least private investment in the country.

Speaking at a function in Nagpur, he also said the government was not dejected even though the agriculture reform laws had to be repealed.

"We brought agriculture amendment laws. But some people did not like these laws which were a big reform brought about 70 years after Independence under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership," Tomar said.

"But the government is not disappointed. We moved a step back and we will move forward again because farmers are India's backbone," he said.
