Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi overturns controversial farm regulations

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced the abolition of agricultural reform laws that have sparked annual protests by hundreds of thousands of farmers over measures.

That allow farmers to sell products outside of state-owned markets but injured smallholder farmers who had entered the masses on the main roads of people thought to have died during an altercation with police in his state of the nation address recently.

 Modi said the government had failed to convince certain farmers of the benefits. of the three laws. Today I still apologize to our people and I would like to say with a white and white heart that maybe there was something missing in our efforts for holiness.

Because we could not explain to other farmers the truth that seemed like the light of a lamp. well, you can imagine another reaction to this in an amazing way Delhi is receiving a response from farmers in one of the main protests.

In the capital for a major day for Indian farmers as Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced this morning that he would repeal three farm laws passed by the Indian parliament. 

These laws say that these laws will pay the agricultural sector a way for agriculture which is why protests continued for a long time because many negotiations between chemical organizations and the government failed to reach.

Any conclusion and today Sikh guru-guru Nanak dev's 552 birthday is a great gift from the government as farmers saying how do you feel the best day for us as a farmer I am very happy and this time from all my farmers.

 I will see the joy on their faces a very good day for a long time yes yes at least one year we have been moving forward so today we hope that our demands will be met so now there is hope for farmers that their demands will be met now as farm rules are repealed and as you know there are political parties.

There is a rumor that uh as it is an election in two important provinces and that is why it forced the government to go down without a sky it was a Ragini.

 This surprised everyone I think it means that the farmers were planning to visit or mark when I said their year of border protest with Delhi had planned different events.

The seasons were there in the dark winter of last year and already that second wave of covid and incredible heat and they were determined to continue um and it was amazing that it turned green now and this and that really. 

It is surprising because it is not the act of Prime Minister Modi who is usually a self-proclaimed political man and he rarely makes political changes and that gives.

You have a clue as to how the farmer's voice ended up being strong. when it comes to this tension between the two sides and we will come to the reason why this happened and why now for a moment but what was the government's intention in introducing these laws in the first place?

When they were brought to parliament but it was a success in liberating the Indian agricultural sector to unlock market forces allowing smallholder farmers to sell directly to a supermarket or a large company.

 Now the government said that was a good thing that gave farmers a lot of choice and opportunity but farmers were very worried that they would lose guarantees of low prices.

They acquired certain crops while selling in state-controlled markets and were given them.

The price of a particular commodity and they were worried that once you opened up the market to those prices it would go down and especially.

Those smallholder farmers worried that it would drive them out of business so in many ways, there was an economic crisis from the government and in other words, it was emotional.

One of the farmers is just like the economy and he knows the prime minister Modi in that speech to the nation said he has failed to convince farmers of the benefits and that is as even the dramatic turnaround from the leader is not usually reversed especially.

Because disagreements seem more than this there were no signs of a solution bp seems to be losing weight with the important provincial elections.

That comes with the important elections we 'talk about emotions we have talked about the economy now let's talk about politics as you say there is an important election.

 Next year in the provinces of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab now most farmers in northern India are from that area so it is a big bank of votes and many experts.

 Here say if he looked at political statistics they should have done something to ensure that they would be able to win those votes because.

The farmers were defending themselves against the bp government and prime minister Modi but I think what is interesting is what we are hearing from the lower farmers in the protest area.

 Today is even though the prime minister has said you can all go home now many farmers say we are not going anywhere until the rules are repealed promised.

That it will happen uh next month that will happen next month and others say we are not going anywhere until you write the law the minimum price guarantee so we know we are locked that think.

If you know you see those festivals colleagues down the border um you know but on the other hand, I think some farmers are right that we are in this long period of no confidence.

In the government after what happened 12 months ago so let's see what happens next. but it does not look like they will pack up and go home immediately.
