Farm Protests

Two years later it seems that while farm-related issues may have influenced voters in border areas of Haryana, they failed to swing the overall mandate away from the BJP.

Farm laws were rolled back by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in November 2021 after massive agitations.

The Congress ripped into BJP MP Kangana Ranaut Tuesday afternoon following the actor-politician's fresh comment on the three farm laws that were at the core of farmers' protest of 2020.

It's high time that the parties concerned reach an agreement and address the issues affecting farmers comprehensively, rather than approaching them in a piecemeal manner. MSP, by no means, is a panacea.

Ajay Mishra Teni’s son Ashish allegedly ran over farmers in his SUV when they were headed to protest controversial farm laws at an event of UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya in Lakhimpur Kheri.

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha Wednesday condoled the death of a farmer in a clash between security personnel and protesters at the Punjab-Haryana border, and alleged the government was "solely responsible for the present crisis and casualty".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that his government was helping farmers to take agriculture on a new path, and laid focus on natural farming and millets.

The deadlock between the government and protesting farmers rolled into a second week Monday, with no definite breakthrough after four rounds of talks but signs of an accord on the MSP issue on the horizon.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha will gherao the residences of BJP leaders in Punjab for three days from Tuesday to press the Centre into accepting the farmers' demands including a legal guarantee to minimum support price on crops.

A day before the crucial meeting with Union ministers, farm leaders on Saturday asked the Centre to bring an ordinance on giving a legal guarantee to MSP, while a tractor march and dharnas were held in support of protesting farmers.

Rakesh Tikait - a key figure in the 2020/21 protests against the government's "black farm laws" - has backed the second 'Delhi Chalo' agitation, which began Tuesday with tear gas being fired on the Punjab-Haryana border that triggered clashes.

Taking note of the massive traffic jams across the national capital region on account of the farmers' 'Delhi Chalo' march, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud today said he will accommodate lawyers if they are stuck in traffic due to farmer protests.

Protesting farmers will begin their 'Delhi Chalo' march today to push the Centre to address their demands. Foremost among these demands is the enactment of a law guaranteeing a minimum support price (MSP) for crops - a crucial lifeline for farmers.

Farmers will march to Delhi on February 13 to press the Centre for accepting several demands, including enactment of a law to guarantee MSP for crops, a top farm leader said on Monday.

Farmer leaders will meet the Punjab governor on Tuesday in connection with their various demands as the three-day protest under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha continued for the second day on Monday.
