> There was monopolies of mandis(farmer are restricted only to sell here) now government allows them to make contract or sell anywhere.

You have no clue. Farmers were free before also to sell anywhere.

Reliance is going to monopolize in agriculture also similar to what they have done with Telecom via Jio.

Agree.

I have a BSNL net connection (with reliability going down from good to worse). Being public sectore, Central govt is accountable for BSNL quality.

The way BSNL value is/was destroyed to promote Reliance... is now repeating elsewhere.

This is a highly uneducated comment, Reliance is like Vodafone or O2, EE or 3G, they own mobile networks, can you imagine Vodafone going into farming LOL.

I believe you are uneducated. Not sure if you know or pretending to be ignorant - Reliance is a conglomerate. They are into a ton of businesses including Oil Refineries, Retail etc. What does Vodafone have to do with them?
