Here in this thread i will try to explain all the issues farmers are facing with this new act. Everything from MSP to electricity amendment bill.

Please so share it extensively to people are educated.

#FarmersDilliChalo #FarmersBill2020

1) MSP is one of the things farmers are protesting for, now let me explain why MSP not mentioned in the act is an issue.
Since its not mentioned its not legal so there is nothing thats stopping them from stopping MSP, farmers won’t be able engage in legal battles.

2) Right now in mandi system when an auction is held its the seller’s market farmers decides the price, the more buyers the bigger price farmers get.
But with this bill buyers don’t have to go to mandi, they can purchase it directly this will become a buyers market..

#MPConversations #FarmersDilliChalo

Conversation with BJP MP. The call lasted for over 7 minutes and ended with the MP in complete silence.

Me: Sir, what is your opinion on the farmers protest against the farm bills

MP: I believe the Prime Minister has introduced the farm bills to help the farmers. In fact Congress has been wanting to introduce these laws since 1950, but they never did and we did it. The farmer will have the freedom to sell the harvest anywhere he wants to.

For e.g. rice is expensive in Maharashtra and not so much in Telangana. So farmer from Telangana can sell it in Maharashtra. Similarly the companies will now work with the farmers. They will pay the farmers in advance.
(and the MP went on sing laurels about the PM)

१/५ शेतकरी दिल्लीत पोचू नयेत यासाठी काटेरी तारा, आडकाठ्या आणि सीमा सुरक्षा दळ? भले. तर ही आहे, सहकारी संघराज्य प्रणाली. का दिल्ली दरबारी शेतकऱ्यांचा उठाव थोपवण्यासाठी हरयाणाच्या सुभेदारांच्या संगनमतात सहकारी सरंजामशाही?
#FarmersDilliChalo #Farmers #FarmBills

२/५. दुष्ट बाजारसमित्यांपासून शेतकऱ्यांना ‘मुक्त’ करू पाहणारी तीन कृषी विधेयकं (कायदे नव्हे) आठवतायत? केंद्राने रेटलेली, माध्यमं, ‘तज्ज्ञ’ अर्थशास्त्र्यांनी वाहवा केलेली! हाय! तोच मुक्त शेतकरी आज (कधीच न) पोसणाऱ्याच्या मुळावर उठलाय.
#FarmersDilliChalo #Farmers #FarmBill

३/५. शासनाने तत्परतेने २९ कामगार कायदे केवळ चार सूचींमध्ये ‘सूचित’ केले. माध्यमं आणि तज्ज्ञांकडून परत वाहवा. आज तोच सक्षम कृतघ्न कामगार मुक्त शेतकऱ्यांच्या समर्थनात रस्त्यावर उतरलाय. संविधान दिनाच्या शुभेच्छा, प्रियहो.

'why the protest is largely
concentrated in Punjab and Haryana?'

Even though most states contribute to farming the Centre only purchases paddy, wheat and few other select pulses in large quantities.

#FarmerProtest #FarmersDilliChalo

And more than half of all government procurement of wheat and paddy in the last five years has taken place in Punjab and Haryana.

according to Agriculture Ministry data. More than 85% of wheat and paddy grown in Punjab and 75% percent in Haryana, is bought by the government at MSP rates.
Punjab government earns an annual revenue of about 3500 crore from these purchases.

1/5. Barbed wire, Barricades and Border Security Force to stop farmers from reaching Delhi? Wow! There’s Cooperative Federalism for you. Or is it cooperative feudalism with the subedars of Haryana saving the Dilli Darbar from a peasant uprising?

2/5. Remember the 3 Farm Bills (now laws) that were to ‘liberate’ farmers from the clutches of the evil APMC? Rammed through by the Centre, hailed by media and ‘expert’ economists. Damn! The liberated are biting the hands that never fed them.
#FarmersDilliChalo #Farmers #FarmBill

3/5. The government then quickly ‘codified’ 29 labour laws into four codes. More media and expert applause. But the ungrateful workers so empowered are on the streets today fully supporting the liberated farmers. Happy Constitution Day, all.
