New Delhi: Three controversial agricultural laws at the heart of massive farmer protest throughout the country for more than a year will be withdrawn, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today in an amazing announcement only for months before elections in countries such as Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
This step came at the teacher Purab Festival, when the founder of the Sikhism of the birthday of the Nanak teacher was celebrated, especially in Punjab.
“While apologizing to the nation, I want to say with a sincere and pure heart that maybe there is something lacking in our tapasya (dedication) that we cannot explain the truth, crystalline, to some of our brothers and sisters. But today Is Prakash Parv, not the time to blame anyone. Today, I want to tell the country that we have decided to revoke three agricultural laws, “said PM Modi in an address to the nation.
“In the parliamentary session starting later this month, we will complete the process of revoking three laws,” he said.
“I will ask all my farmer friends who protested, today is a fortune day Teacher Purab, go home and your family and make a new start, let’s move forward.”
Before the big climbing, the Prime Minister defended the law said that they were intended as reform, especially for small and marginal farmers in this country.
“Whatever I do is for farmers. What I do is for the country.”
Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have been camping outside Delhi since November 2020, demanding that “black black” be withdrawn. BJP has faced massive anger in northern countries, something that is unable to deposure a major election in the future, including the 2024 national poll.
Rakesh Tikait, a top farmer leader, said the demonstrators would wait until the law was revoked in a session from November 29.
Farmers’ protests did not stop through several rounds of talks between the government and farmers, disruption to the parliament and the Supreme Court’s hearing in the petition that challenged the law.
“We regret we cannot convince all farmers. Only part of those who oppose the law, but we continue to try to educate and tell them,” said PM Modi.
Immediately after his speech, #Masterstroke began a trend on social media.
The opposition must recalibrate the next step but for now, the leaders call it the victory of farmers for government arrogance.
“Satyagraha farmers have defeated pride. Congratulations on this victory for injustice,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
Opposition and farmers accuse the Government of Railroading three laws through parliament without much discussion. The government said the law would eliminate intermediaries and increase farmer income by allowing them to sell anywhere in this country. Farmers argue that the law will expose them to unfair competition, let them be at the mercy of the corporation and eliminate it from the price of guaranteed for their products.
Sensational Rollback is politically thoughtful to BJP for looking for re-election at Uttar Pradesh, a large decider before 2024.
BJP is worried about losing voters at Uttar Pradesh West, one of the episentrasion of farmer protests, a region that has the four assembly chairs set to choose.
The frequency of upward visits by the Prime Minister and other leaders such as Amit Shah reflect the focus of the party laser on maintaining.
Right after the address, PM Modi headed to Uttar Pradesh again to launch a series of schemes.
Step PM can tip a balance in Punjab, where BJP has been reduced to a small player after an old allied Akali Dal breaks the bond of agricultural law. The country’s ruling Congress faced the challenge of his former leader, Amarinder Singh. Amarinder Singh, was forced to stop as the main minister in September, held talks with BJP as soon as it was. Canceling the agricultural law reported the condition that Mr. Singh has a tie-up with BJP.
