The ultra-right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government, which has unleashed a series of legislation angering both the workers and farmers in the country recently, claims that the seed bill seeks to modernize seed regulations with stricter quality control and penalties for major offenses.
In a statement issued on Sunday, SKM questioned the government’s claims, calling the proposed bill a “regressive legislation” which will establish the hegemony of Multinational Corporations (MNCs) over the Indian seed sector and take away the country’s seed sovereignty.
The bill is harmful for the farmers, for India’s biodiversity, and its food security, and also an assault on Indian federal structure, as it proposes the centralization of the existing powers of the provincial/state governments, SKM claimed.

Hmm ... I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard to figure out whom exactly are these MNCs.
