Farmer bills 2020

The farm bills are good, and that the protests against them are motivated not by farmer's interests, but by other vested interests.

Unmasking Darshan Pal- the face of the Farmers' protest.

All the parties supporting these irrelevant protests will lose their vote shares as and when they go for elections. Congress's strong bastion in the name of Punjab slipping out of its hands in 2022 might just be the last nail in the coffin.

The current model of wheat and rice cultivation, supported by subsidised electricity and fertilisers as well as the guaranteed procurement by the government at MSP, is not only causing environmental decay but also promoting lazy farming.

The central government needs to tackle with this new weapon of misinformation and it is high time it does so because the country takes a huge loss during these protests plus some people even lose their lives.

When the government is not bound to purchase, then crops will be sold to private players and meet the same fate as maize, Moong,...

Under the guise of opposing ordinances, farmers are being made political pawns. Farmers need to understand this. Ordinances do not repeal the existing APMC laws. These anti-social elements are doing mistake by thinking farmers as fools.

Some of the policymakers in India are perhaps not ready to digest the reality that the changing landscape has made the old calculations increasingly difficult to practice and this is manifested by recent misinformation campaign and undignified behaviour in the parliament.

The farmers bills may have been moved after years of frustration with uneven and partial state reforms. But the credibility of agriculture market reforms will not come by bypassing states.

It’s time to celebrate and not protest, as the exploitation masters have been tossed up by these reforms and at the same time empowered and enhanced value of our lovely farmers socially and economically.
