Not all are the same forever. That is the main topic of discussion in the Indian Parliament hall now. This is the first time that the Modi government has received a push from its allies. And the situation that has been created has created the possibility of a push in Haryana after Punjab.

The start of the push, with the approval of three bills aimed at reforming agriculture. Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal has resigned in protest. Akali Dal’s MP said on Thursday that he no longer wanted to be the food processing minister. In fact, her husband and Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal also strongly opposed the government’s recent agricultural reform bill. Her resignation has also been accepted by the president.

The Akali Dal in Punjab has long been a friend of the BJP. He is one of the members of the NDA alliance governed by BJP. As a result, some experts believe that such momentum from that party could put pressure on the BJP in the future. The oldest allies of the BJP were Shiv Sena and Akali. Shiv Sena has already left. This time Akalio also left the cabinet. However, they are currently in the NDA.

Why did Harsimrat suddenly resign from the cabinet? The central government presented three agricultural bills in the Badal parliament session. One, by amending the Essential Products Act to grant an exemption for the storage of rice, legumes, potatoes, onions, wheat, edible oil and oilseeds, as desired. Two, agricultural traders, exporters, and food-processing companies will be able to buy crops directly from farmers by growing them under contract, and three, trading with private companies will be able to lock in crop prices. The first bill had already been approved. The last two bills were raised in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Punjab and Haryana are called Indian Crop Reserves. Great farmers live here. Farmers are vehemently opposed to these three central government agricultural bills. According to them, any bill goes against the interests of farmers. Opposition parties, including Congress and the UP, also oppose the bill. Farmers have called for a ban in Punjab on September 25. In this situation, the farmers reported that the Punjab MPs who will support the bill will not be able to enter the village.

As a result, Akali Dal has to side with the farmers. Because there are many great farmers in this group. The Badal family is also said to be one of the largest farmers. At the Lok Sabha on Thursday, Akali MP Sukhbir Singh Badal was the first to oppose the bill. He reported on the resignation of his wife Harsimrat. However, both Akali MPs said they would not leave the NDA for the time being, even if they opposed the bill. Support from abroad.

Previously, only one Shiv Sena minister resigned from Modi’s cabinet. However, it was after the BJP’s fight with Uddhav Thackeray and his withdrawal from support for Uddhav. Aside from that incident, no minister from the allied party has so far embarrassed the Modi government. Even if Akali’s support is removed, Modi’s government will not fall. But experts say the Modi government has been claiming for so long that they have no problem with themselves. Thursday’s incident caused new problems. Haryana farmers are also protesting against the new bill. As a result, another friend of the BJP, Dushyant Chautala, is expected to press the BJP this time as well.

However, the opposition camp is making fun of Akali’s position enough. According to them, if the Badals are so friendly to farmers, why don’t they leave the NDA?
