After AAP sacking YoYa in 2015, he started campaigning for Farmers in Haryana & Punjab. Gave a lot of interviews during this period till 2019 Lok Sabha election.

No mention of Middlemen in any of these interviews. Not even once.

All his interviews focused only on increasing MSP
He spoke of everything except middlemen in this interview in 2018. Demonetisation affected but no mention of middlemen anywhere google.co.in/amp/s/amp.scro…
Farmers want guaranteed income but no mention of middlemen again google.co.in/amp/s/www.down…
2017 Delhi protests again blaming MSP for farmer crisis google.co.in/amp/s/indianex…
Long interview in 2018, again MSP MSP MSP and institutional loan waivers. No middle men google.co.in/amp/s/wap.busi…
Even in economic times, against price and Modi google.co.in/amp/s/m.econom…
One more lengthy interview: Again about MSP and Modi All over again ecologise.in/2017/12/11/yog…
This time in Tribune. No change in content google.co.in/amp/s/www.trib…
Increase in the price of fuel, fertilisers and reducing government subsidies can be the reason for rising crop loan debts and farmer’s suicide, according to YoYa and gang. No middlemen again google.co.in/amp/s/thelogic…
Farmers have historically remained divided along multiple layers—class divisions between land-owning peasant-proprietor, sharecropper and farm labour. No middle men again.

google.co.in/amp/s/www.down…
Replace BJP with any party who give increase in MSP. That’s my Moto says YoYa google.co.in/amp/s/m.thewir…
We've been living a hand-to-mouth existence for a very long time but rising prices of seeds, diesel and fertiliser and falling prices of milk, fruits, vegetables & even staples is the last straw says a farmer participant of YoYa’s rally. Middlemen? google.co.in/amp/s/mobile.r…
BJP might win between 150 - 200 seats because they Are Anti farmer predicted YoYa google.co.in/amp/s/www.mone…
You will find a YoYa in every state; They fiddle the same fake narrative for electoral politics. They don’t care what farmers want and they will never speak of real issues.

Large Farmers to Middle men to Large Farmers - The vicious cycle

Punjab is an agriculturally developed but land scarce economy. The ownership of land is an economic asset and carries a social prestige in the society. The small farmers find it difficult to keep their land intact.
The number of operational holdings in the state was 11.17 lakh in 1990-91, which declined to 9.97 lakh in 2000-01. The picture of small farmers (< 5 acres of land) was very precarious as their number has declined from 5 lakh to about 3 lakh during this period.
This shows that about 2 lakh small farmers have either leased out or sold their entire land or part of it. A report on the status of farmers who left farming in Punjab states that out of 2 lakh families who left farming, about 36 per cent families have sold their entire land

The Arhtiyas (Middlemen) of Punjab

The Arhtiyas of Punjab are political connected.

In July 2017, in a public function the Arhyiyas felicitated Amarinder Singh with the title of ‘Fakhr-e-Quam’(Pride of the Community).
Post that function, the CM had said it would be difficult to waive off the debt owed by farmers to the arhtiyas.

As many as 86% of farmer & 80% of agricultural labours are mired in debt, says a study on Indebtedness among Farmers & Agricultural Labourers in Rural Punjab.
Its authors, researchers at Punjabi University, Patiala, say over a fifth of that debt was owed to commission agents and moneylenders.

No less than 8,294 farmers took their own lives between 2000 & 2015, says a study presented last year before the Vidhan Sabha’s Committee.

Farm Bill politics Thread:

Indian Food grain Production for the year 19-20: Top 5 states

🚜 Haryana : 17.8 Lakh Tons
🚜 Rajasthan : 23.2 Lakh Tons
🚜 Punjab : 29.9 Lakh Tons
🚜 Madhya Pradesh : 33 Lakh Tons
🚜 Uttar Pradesh : 55 Lakh Tons

Protests only in Punjab
Gross Value Added: Agri & Allied Industries (GVA is Selling - Production Cost)

🚜 Punjab: 0.9

States with less output but more profits than Punjab.

🚜 Maha : 1.9
🚜 AP: 1.8
🚜 WB: 1.4
🚜 TN : 1.2

Who is eating all the profits in Punjab?
Reasons for Farmer Protests only in Punjab:

⚡️ Middlemen left out - Huge revenue loss
⚡️ 1800 Mandi tax per year is gone
⚡️ Akali dal split in two; they want to use this to counter the insurgency
⚡️ Khalistan separatists looking for a launch pad
⚡️ State ruled by congress
