For the people who still don’t understand “why farmers are protesting the bill?”.

Here are the reasons.
1) MSP is not mentioned in the bill, they are only verbally saying its there, we all know how that works.

Without MSP (or minimum support price) specifically mentioned in the bill private companies can stop purchasing crops at MSP anytime they want and small time farmers can hardly go into legal battles with big corps.
2) removal of stock limit and allowing of bulk purchase and storage through the change in the Essential Commodities Act could bring large corporate players into the agriculture space. they could also skew the playing field, with small farmers can’t match them in bargaining power.
