Corporate possession
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently passed three bills on agriculture in Parliament. Under the new rules, farmers will no longer be able to set a specific minimum price for their crops. The price of the harvest will be 7 according to the rules of the open market According to the farmers, the rule will increase the influence of companies and reduce the rights of farmers to cultivate.

Minimum cultivation price
The minimum support price system or MSP has so far confirmed the price of the crop. Giving away the benefits of this MSP can cause losses to farmers in large corporate organizations.

Local leadership under pressure
Although the local BJP leadership says that the benefits of the MSP will not be eliminated, as will farmers’ organizations, there will be more business interference in agriculture, which will hit small farmers hard. Farmers also protest outside the BJP offices and outside the leaders’ residences. In many cases, the BJP is losing support in rural areas, where farm families live.

Influence on Punjab politics
Although the farmers’ organizations did not directly involve any political party in the protest, their protest is putting pressure on the government. The Akali Dal, a longtime BJP ally in Punjab, left the alliance amid ongoing protests. That said, they did it so as not to lose local support.

Respect, the issue of livelihood
In Punjab, a farmer owns an average of one to two hectares of land. However, the income from that land is not very high. In most cases, it is enough to run the family. Two-thirds of India’s population, or roughly 1.2 billion people, depend on agriculture. As a result, this protest is important to them.

Will anything change?
Like farmers, the authorities are unwilling to listen to their problems. On the contrary, the government accuses farmers of ‘not doing the new bills well’, ‘not being willing to understand the economy’ and ‘being stuck in the past’. Farmers are a ‘political batch’, have also been heard from the government Farmers cannot swear how long they will be trapped But they think that if they withdraw from the protest there will be no way to get their message out
It has been almost two weeks since farmers practically closed the Delhi border. The peasant movement in Punjab and part of Haryana started two months ago in protest of the recent farm law. They moved to the Delhi border a couple of weeks ago. They have blocked almost all the borders of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh at the Delhi border. They are protesting in the streets this winter. Meanwhile, they have had several meetings with the central government. But the solution formula did not match. The government is not willing to repeal the law, farmers are also inflexible in their demands. The movement is led by 33 farmer organizations across the country. Hundreds of thousands of farmers have joined. As the government made no promises, peasant leaders decided Sunday to go on a hunger strike from 8 am to 5 pm on Monday. After which Arvind Kejriwal reported that he will also go on a hunger strike. The farmers are threatened, if the government does not accept their demands, then a continuous hunger strike will begin. However, they said the move would be peaceful.
Union Interior Minister Amit Shah also met with the Agriculture Minister on Monday afternoon. Sources said the meeting discussed how to stop the movement of farmers, how far the Center can bow its head. The government, however, did not inform the media about this. On the other hand, many mass organizations have appeared in support of farmers on the Singu border. The song is playing. Farmers have also made symbolic crops. They planted vegetables in the divider in the middle of the road.
