In a nutshell Modi's government is trying to open up the agricultural sector to corporate forces as he has done with other industries resulting in exploitation of natural and Human Resources, lowering of environmental standards, displacement of people from ancestral lands etc.
This would would result in the consolidation of land into mega-farms, destroying small holders who are the backbone of Panjab it would result in a vicious monopoly and completely destroy the unique culture and character of a region and its people that is millennia old.
As far as Panjab is concerned, the results will be the detachment of people, largely Sikhs from their land, the overall plan or effect will completely transform Panjab, there is a clear political bias at play that seeks to bring Panjab into the orbit of the central governement
This could result in eventually forcing the newly landless out, manipulating the demographic make up over the place irreversibly.
