Just wondering can the farm laws be implemented in all states except Punjab? Let the other states have the privilege of an expanded market for the benefit of farmers. Punjab can stay in their cave.
The farmers are opposing that offer as well.
Yes can someone answer this?
This is an option given by government too, but they rejected this as well!
I found this exposing enough for these protest people
Just wondering why don't the BIMARU BJP states implement these laws at the state level? Agriculture is a state subject after all, and your overpopulated hellholes can live with the leaders you choose

That seems to be very sensible, indeed. We need more such voices.

@@ashishrana1658 no-one is sporting farm laws in Punjab
same here Bro. Every farmers in TN knows how difficult o sustain farming. We are farming for generations but now the only condition my parents laid was no farming in future. Now finally a sign of change & Punjab farmers are ruining it. Additionally the 2 face of the NRIs is the most disgusting particularly UK/Canada. They want reforms but motivated by their religious/ethnic prejudices.

The three laws originally without MSP guarantees is beneficial to the farmers?
Can someone please explain whether MSP is there in the three laws that originally were passed as laws.👍
@@kesavaannadevara4126 Neither the ordinance nor the bills given away with MSP but given the choice to farmer to sell his produce anywhere he wish. Initially the farmers were insisting for assurance on MSP for which govt agreed for written consent but later repealing the law is their main demand.
@@kesavaannadevara4126 MSP as a policy provided assurance that the price of the product was never below cost, with powerful corporations the farmers will always be squeezed below cost (that is the working model of oligopolies and monopolies) - the most efficient farming systems around the world, U.S., Europe require huge amount of subsidies, India does not subsidize its farmers, there is always a contra-cost for every free electricity etc.
Suspend reform in these three regions, and provide the reforms to others.
Then they will ask for fixed price that too with continued subsidies. This will be unfair of government to give my state (Punjab) everything and not to share with other states. I am embarrassed for being a Punjabi. We are this time unfair. All protests u see r due to hatred towards Modi. BJP would have faced them with iron fist
Sounds like a good idea. 👍🏽
GREAT
@Pradhan Mantri I want other farmers also to say something. I am a Punjabi and all I am see is 90% farmers in turban and almost every farmers are from Jat belt of Punjab, Haryana and West UP. Where are rest of farmers and that too Hindus. Even in farmer meeting I see 90% farmer leader Sikhs despite Hindus are majority in farming. I am not saying who is right I want voice from other cities like Dhule, Belgavi, Thirussur, Rewari, Pryagraj, Hubli, Kutch, Mysuru and farmer should be Hindu and not Jat. One cant make decision on basis of 1 community.
@@lol8q I am not a farmer. I am a Punjabi from Delhi, my community was from Pakistan's Punjab, till then 1947 we used to do farming , now no one in my community does farming. This is why I want people from every state to give their opinion on farm bill, mention the drawback so that it can be rectified even any drawback is there. Punjab is in serious problem, rice wheat will make it desert. Abohar to Jodhpur, cancer express runs on this route as Punjab is highest consumer of fertiliser. These people dont care about Punjab as their community have to run to Canada.
I do not like the attitude of those who are not agreeing with govt on clause by clause discussion. Discussion should happen and while discussing educated farmers who have quit high paying MNC job to do organic farming should also be present there.
Rich Farmers Deciding Future of Poor Farmer Totally Bulshit. Reform is necessary in Farm sector.

What is the problem now ? Even Raghuram Rajan,staunch critic, of BJP has supported the current farm laws.
Why dont you ask the farmers of Bihar if these 3 farm laws are great reform since they had them implemented as ordinances. Bihar farming got devastated.

I've got a doubt
When the state governments are passing a resolution against the farm bills like punjab,WB,Kerala did ,then why farmers are still protesting?
Doubt is always good.Farmers are also belongs to different states.All farmers want MSP fixed legally.
@@sasindranvm3366 that's okay regarding MSP. but when states like Punjab said that those laws won't be implemented in the state but still farmers want the laws repealed.

Which is performance, GDP decreased 25 % development negatively.
@@adhavamuruganjawahar2999 true. And farmers still want MSP to be legalized for all crops .😂😂
@@TheSourav7721 that's the cost of production. For any product there should be a cost of production, For Farmers government should fix the cost of production. Government Either buying from Farmers or not , the government should confirm the price to Farmers.
Farmers have no bargaining capacity so the government should support them. Also Farming generates huge employment in India.
Hearing a designer patrikar talking in Gupta's hand waving. So much has been accomplished and India is emerging as a self sufficient world power. Not much was accomplished in last 60 years. Most of the changes upward have occurred in the last ten years. Thanks to Modi. Farmer's future depends on becoming more efficient, more productive and competing on world scale. Meaning, quality, efficiency and cost. If Punjab clings on to past, UP and South will eat their lunch.
Right now you eat our wheat and the middle east eats our basmati rice so take your shabby kollam rice and go elsewhere and never underestimate the Punjab
Mr Shekar Gupta ji, I am very fond of your content and context and I like your every rationale you give on government handling execution and persuasion of farm laws to farmers. I think you and your team must get in touch with government body with all the data that you have presented till now, hopefully this will give some directions and help ending long strike
Sir, can you a CTC on the Whatsapp chat leaks of Arnab Goswami? The entire situation is very confusing. Big fan. Best of luck to you.

@@noorulameen7478 see I wanted a full CTC on the Whatsapp chat
@@Nimish204 yes. I also wanted the same 🙏
Mumbai Police has used those leaked chats in their chargesheet. That means it has some credibility, now we have to wait and watch how the courts perceive it. Technology can be manipulated hence you need a expert to convince the court that by forensic evidence. But by the way central government ministers are also involved I don't think Modi and Shah will let Arnab get arrested and spill the beans. Even he speaks of buying the judges in his chat. So you see what will be the outcome.

He is spreading/selling govt view. Not doing reports
Don't agree on a couple of points. The entire protest has been organised and led by a political force who are opposed to the present government. No problem till on that. I think the government has shown enough patience and willingness to talk to the protesters on each and every point mentioned in bill. I could see arrogance among the protesters. I am absolutely convinced that the farmers who have joined in are a misled lot. Pakistani and Khalistani elements are directing this farce is evident from the unsolicited comments made by the Canadian prime minister.
You confuse me.
@@subrataroy5948 So you think some lakhs of people have fallen to a propaganda and just two people in this country have it all right and sorted ? So this huge crowd of people are so motivated by the false propaganda that they are staying on a highway in cold winter for more than a couple of months now. It is really appalling that the people of this country, sitting in their comfortable confines so easily associate their fellow country men to bad elements just for expressing a discontent. A government is in place to design and implement laws for an orderly benefit of a the country. By talking to people they are merely fulfilling their duty.
While I am concerned about farmers protest, I also liked the way Mr Sekhar Gupta explained the situation. This kind of journalism needs a tiring research and perfection in execution infront of camera. By each passing day I am developing a keen interest for Mr Gupta and his team's work. I don't know him personally but he seems a great inspiring personality. I hope team ThePrint would agree with me.
No matter how far the country moved on, still agriculture sector is the backbone of the country. So Modi Government must repeal the law and give due respect to the farmers.
SG says its a very good law. Then he terms BJP as divisive. Are farmers opposing the laws just because they were passed by BJP ?
No, they are disputing the laws because they never asked for these laws and these laws empower corporations at the expense of the farmers (i.e. farmers margins will be squeezed so they are selling agricultural products below cost)
Just wondering🤔 if farm Laws are repealed and govt India doesn’t buy rice and wheat on MSP. For the next two years saying it’s godowns are full then what would be the strategy
@@satishvennelakanti people of Indian wouldn’t have wheat and rice to eat then.
@@abhaysingh7122 The GOI purchases more than the required quota. It is maintaining buffer stocks that are double than the required quantity. We have been producing more wheat and rice than we can consume while we are importing pulses. Farmers are being persuaded to diversify but they don't.

So govt should stop such important reforms ? And why are our unbiased media houses not doing point to point debate rather than just doing useless shows

Everyone is going for money except for poor farmers. And during this times TV shoes will her highest TRP’s for such shows
From day one farmers have demanded scraping of farm laws but SC says farmers have shifted goal posts. I wonder why?
I was waiting for this episode from a long time.
This is what makes Sekhar Gupta apart rom others, he has his own analogy for everything, he doesnt go with the flow, he doesnt favor anyone neither dislike anyone. He has the courage to stand against everyone.
But sir, somewhere I think you avoided this topic for a long period. You were choosing other topics because may be you thought that all ur viewers are on farmer's side( or against the govt).
Keep up the good work sir :)
بہت اچھا تجزیہ کیا ہے🐱
If government approached you, what would your advice be to resolve this issue?
Live proceedings of the govt-farmers meeting with each party making its points and let the nation know why farmers are protesting...because till now, they just want the repeal without telling why. All the initial meetings which took place, the central govt has already assured them to give in writing that msp won’t be discontinued. These are vested interests at play now.

Just wonder, U may have been more prosperous doing some other activities other than explaining Ur false narrative while keeping in mind that farm reform laws are only for farmers.
Arnab bhai se bhi pucho.
@@devkharoud Sorry, I didn't get that. Should I ask Arnab why he loves his country so much?
Mr. Shekhar Gupta needs to know how proud the Sikhs are of their separate identity. Who are the BJP folks to define our identity for us?
If I start calling the Hindus as Muslims will that change the truth?
The laws are good and there's no other option but to reform.. but may impact Punjab-Haryana farmers adversely initially.. it needs amendments. I think the govt should announce a diversification package for Green Rev states to incentivise shift from rice to pulses and vegetables before going ahead with the reforms..
Plus, govt can make the acts, Model act, and leave it to the states, whether to go forward with laws or not.
That way other states won't have to wait 2 years for the reforms.
@@harpreetsinghmann agreed 👍
Electric wires on poles are being set to provide electricity to villages. But somebody in the village says that he has seen 2-3 persons die due to electric shock from the wires fallen down due to bad wiring. Now the entire village is protesting against the project of electrification of the area and want the authorities to retreat lest the electric wires kill them or severally injure them.
The way the farm protests was handled was disastrous. Calling Sikhs Khalistanis and anti-nationals is going to incur collateral damages deeper than we can imagine. But the farm laws in and of themselves were very good. We need these laws. The rest of us shouldn't have to suffer bcz of this gvts inability to convey information without getting abusive.
I guess it been 70 times they have forward the message now it up to them they will continue the protest till 2024 or not as Tomar said they are gonna withdraw all the talks now
@@roman5782 When protests of this scale occur they automatically bcm a breeding ground for conspiracy and conspiracy theories, and fringe elements try to ride the waves whenever they can. It's a well established fact that Khalistani presence in India is like a storm in a tea cup, painting their "involvement" as the main feature of the protests therefore was an act of desperate exaggeration that ended up pressurising the right to protest and Punjabi-Hindu solidarity. Big mistake.
Can you explain why women and children and old people were brought to the protest if the objective was to discuss issues with the laws ?? Is this not like Shaheen bagh when women were made to front ?? IS this not for embarrassing the government and India's image in international media ?? Khalistani or not you have accept that the agenda of these protest has nothing to do with issues in the farm bills as NO logical argument has been presented so far... All we hear is Ambani, Adani & Repeal ... This is simple hyperbole... BTW why are you not sensitive to the unprovoked insult that Ambani & Adani have been subjected to by these farmers ?? Are they not citizens too
@@roman5782 there is NO proof of Khalistani movement gaining momentum in india. All the evidence point to a fringe element that has been out of power since partition. Also a lot of claims about the movement is false as the whole Khalistani angle started when an organisation called KHALSA AID stepped in to help out. They were branded as "Khalistanis" for feeding protesters and the protesters as "terrorists" for taking that aid. Abusive name calling of people who lend the most jawans to this country is unforgivable.
After Trudeau supported Khalistani activists Modi didn't bother meeting him on his India visit but modi has touched upon the Farm Protests extensively in his recent speeches. He realises that hooliganism and abusive slurs don't always work.
Let farmers get benefits of selling their products on their wish. Why should they be controlled by unions and societies
Because when you go to get job, you are protected by labor laws. What are farmers protected by? They need a safety net. The bill says corporate will buy as per mutually acceptable quality. Which farmer can prove the quality. Secondly, if corporate rejects then he has right to claim the money through land revenue. What will the farmers do? Pepsi built an industry on farm land on promise of buying potatoes from farmers and stopped buying within a year because of the same clauses.
bitch they are the richest farmers in India, what good will it do to privatize there farming, it will only transfer the wealth to the corporations. don't sell your brain, the states can themselves pass the acts individually, why center is forcing the acts on the states in which farmers are doing well.
@@MAC-vi7fy sorry , you don't know what is happening in karnataka? Reliance and karnataka BJP government are fooling us. The quantities of paddy that reliance buying in karnataka is very less and its only a drama . Reliance give only Rs 50 more than MSP per quintal but reduced the moisture content by 5 % less than MSP. If you calculate it then you will understand clearly that Reliance is cheating us.
This is the beginning only .
@New Account are you sane ? When Indian government is selling petrol and diesel to Farmers at the rate of Rs 90 per litre why not giving proper price for Farmers valueable produce.
Do you say Asking for a proper price for Farmers valueable produce is crime .
Government need not purchase everything that Farmers cultivate but they should ensure MSP and enforce all the purchase including corporate from Farmers should be on or above MSP .
@New Account you must be a fool, why the government import food grains when India grows in huge quantities? To reduce the prices, highly injustice to the Farmers.
You are highly ignorant fellow. Do you know how much wheat was imported in 2019 by modiji government ? Do you know what is the custom duty to import wheat ?
No sir. BJP doesn't think whole country as hindu-muslim.
lol
Modiji can still bring this situation to an amicable win win by declaring the repeal of these laws subject to them being reconsidered by new discussions with the farmers and other relevant bodies, after all, if the government is willing to defer the laws by 18 months, what difference would it make to be more open about it without time restrains. If Modiji announces this on the Republic Day podium he would find himself back as a man of the people. The farmers will hail him and the general public will rejoice sigh with relief......Jai Hind
the blockage of reforms will further take this opposition down hill .. punjab can remain an isolated state until they loose their natural resources .. then we will see who will have the last laugh.. politics of protest, blockage and blackmail only exposes game plan of state leadership and its party and this will strengthen modi further.. and who knows he will carve a niche in punjab from the farmers who are in support of farm bills... so not everything is lost... some thing u loose and something u win... its still only suspended.. its an arrow in an armory to be pulled out again back at right time...
Biggest reason is this Government's incessant effort to score political points over opposition parties thus trying to make them inconsequential. This leads to by passing institutional, democratic processes like parliamentary committee discussions and forceful passing of bills on parliament floor. This leads to conflict spilling over from the Parliament floor to bloody fights on the streets. And both CAA and the farmers agitation demonstrates this is the only way to make this Government listen. Because Modi-Shah does not believe in spending time for building consensus.
1. Bad PR
2. No spine shown by the BJP high command.
3. No Agricultural Minister to set the tone straight.
4. Leftists are too good at PR.
5. Modi has a thin skin.
6. Nobody seem to voice their support for these laws which are actually farmer and consumer friendly in the long run
7. The Middle Men of Farming industry are very strong in their conviction.
8.Punjabi and Left oriented Artist started blind opposition to the laws and then of course then your 4th point is true as anything.
Again the same argument! You are concluding that Punjabis are a force that can hold a nation to ransom and should be adhered to. Because 11rounds of talks had been held to address their concerns but adamency prevails.
The time for talks, negotiations and offers was before drafting the laws not after. The govt is receiving just as much respect from these farmers as the government gave them.
@@sreangsuacharyya5788 totally agree with you on that. And others are following the government as if it is a piped Piper. This blind faith has made the government arrogant and dangerous. It will be soon it will go after these same people who are now supporting the government blindly one by one. With bad 'reforms' like demonitisation and improper gst and now pushing farmers law down people's throat has given actual reform bad name.
Sanju ...nobody is holding the Nation to ransom....Time you removed your Dark glasses !
Shekhar Gupta spits venom on Modi and BJP in a low and husky tone. He acts like an intellectual and a great Political Analyst. But people are wiser now. They understand the inner thinking of every journalist and SG is no exception.
I just watch it to see Shekhar say how the 'reformist' PM is on backfoot.
Dear Mr Gupta. U warned few months ago when farmers protests were limited to Punjab only. U were right then and right today. U want to be politically correct, but here too u r cent percent right. In Punjab it isn’t about reform bit who is doing reform and this time it’s a hindu Party (at least perception)
It is not about who but how it is done. No one likes to be pushed around. And we should respect that. Government wants to do things without consultation.
Dear kiran ji.. Atal bihari ji was deeply loved in punjab.. it is not who but how its done..

Let me summarise this one for you :- " Jai Shri Ram " doesn't work on Sikhs.
Too good analysis shekhar Gupta sir
Very good speech, one Nation politicians should understand this
SAD were their key ally and communication bridge who could have solved this terrible miscommunication. Sikhs are the best event managers in this world! I am amazed that the BJP , who are so good at marketing an idea and creating a solid brand..has faltered big time.. Atleast this time! Even though ideologically they are different, but both Indira Gandhiji in 1973 and Modiji today are going through the same difficult phase. Chanakya neeti + Ram Rajya = Good Governance....Or maybe the govt needs a Hanuman who can solve this crisis through some swift, prudent action.
Interestingly put...also SAD initially were in favour of the law but with the backlash from local public and politics, they left.
Modi and Indira are going exactly the same way.. Emergency coming after 2024win, then a revolt then A combined opposition coming to power, then their break up and people fedup, again Modi back to power, but then let's see what happens after that.
@@siddhant9508 Maybe they ( SAD) didn't really go deep down the laws to analyze it thoroughly so that they can explain it really well to the farmers. I am reminded of the famous quote of the genius Albert Einstein.. If you can't explain it to a two yr old...Then you haven't understood it at all. Please don't get me wrong.. I am not suggesting that the farmers are as I'll informed as a two yr old .. Here the govt hasn't understood the problem thoroughly and hence are struggling to solve it!! Another possible reason why SAD left the alliance is because the then honorable minister Smt Harsimrat singh badal ji knew that the inability of the govt to explain well may lead to her answering Bhatinda. After all what matters is what the people want.. Not what the govt wants. Although these laws are good for the farmers.. They don't trust the fact that it's good. And trust is everything!
@@KshitijBhambri1 Things change quickly in politics. Yes, you're right, only time will tell where all this is heading. A possible emergency, then a comeback? One can't say what's in the womb of the future!

@@adeshfafriya3884 true.. Khud bhi reform nhi chahte aur kisi aur ko bhi nahi lene denge
It was offered that the laws would not be implemented in Punjab.
Farmers didn't accepted that either
@@JK-np3mi If what you are saying is true then more public awareness of it is required. Modi himself can inform in his Man Ki Baat
In essence people of India need to be taught like school children what is right and wrong
MSP to be legalised .That is the only crux.
@@sasindranvm3366 so more taxes?
Education and awarness is less in India, We are a thirld world country afterall..How can u expect the farmers to know this when it's such a complicated issue..Reforms are definitely needed and if they could make some changes then it would be good
@@saileshbabu6661 yes money for agriculture subsides should be put in education
@@saileshbabu6661
" Education & awareness is less in India .." ......
" How can you e expect the farmers to know this when it's such a complicated issue.."
That's why the Modi govt needs the support of the media to explain the benefits of these reforms not just to the farmers but also to the country. If media won't cooperate , then the govt should find an expert communicator with the full knowledge & experience of the agri sector so that explain in simple language to the farmers how & why they & the country will benefit financially by implementing these reforms.....this is what the govt should do over the next 18 months, especially in relation to the resistance from Punjab farmers. These farmers have to be " fast
forwarded " to the realities of the 21st century farming
If the farmers of Punjab and Haryana cannot understand and doesn't want to implement it, is it not better that it is not implemented there?
Mr Gupta has analysed the political aspect of the "reforms" very well. However a very important aspect is also needs to be considered before economic changes are contemplated.
Let us play the role of the adversary while analysing this setuation. The fact is that the Panjab/Hariyana/West UP farmers observe that their counterparts in Central & Eastern UP, Bihar, etc earn in an year what they ( Panjab, Hariyana ) make in a month ! What they also see is that the Official Mandi system does not exists there and those farmers are forced to cell their produce, (wheet & rice) in the open market at prices below the MSP.
Why the prices fall ? Any college student of economics will tell you " because the supply is more than the demand or the need of immediate money, results in distress selling lowering the prices".
India, Europe and USA have been over producing food grains for over 3 decades.
While European and US farmers constitute 3% of the population, their governments subsidise them to keep them viable.
In India the people whose livlyhood depends on agricultural are 70% of our population .
Panjab/Hariyana farmers are subsidised by the Mandi system. If it goes they will be forced to sell at much lower market prices similar to Bihar and therefore their earning will be reduced to Bihar level !!
Before implementation of the reforms the government should have worked out how to make the agricultural activity an atractive/ viable means of livlyhood for farmers all over the country.
This is zamindar protest to keep poor farmers poor. Print, is using politics to get trp rather than what free journalism is supposed to do -educate people. Im unsubscribing Shekarji. You lost my respect.
Laboured attempt by SG of becoming an expert on an issue he has no expertise on. Unnecessary and long theorising.
Labored attempt by a nobody of becoming an expert with 0 knowledge about farming bt utilizing d benefit of free internet
"Yes Minister" - that is what is happening within the PMO. We need few advisors who are ready to be devil advocates. And again an in-depth analysis by SG Sir. Thank you !
Sir, I believe that days when Agriculture was a paying occupation is no longer true. For Agriculture to thrive at our stage of development Govt support is needed. Food is a basic need of the people and Farmers are tied to the land. They are not mobile nor is their produce. Unlike the normal market where the producer goes to the market, the market must come close to the farmer. Farming in India is dependent on the high cost of seeds, fertilizers, power and water. The Min floor price must be assured and only the Govt can assure it. The Govt must run Institutions like Farmer Credit societies and Farmer Markets so that offtake of produce is taken up and released in the market. It is nobody's case that Inventories are kept for the reason of getting bargain prices from the Farmers and released in the consumer markets at abnormally high prices. The Govt can encourage our numerous charities and temple organizations as well as schools to set up langars or kitchens to feed the poor and the children of the poor on a regular basis so that food is consumed and not stocked up for only disaster relief.
Excellent analysis of the crisis
What farm laws have to do with Hinduism or Sikhism?
It's not that the farm laws have anything to do with either of those religions. It's that the BJP cannot deal with the Sikhs like they do the Hindus.
Are you saying only Hindus accept reforms?
@@EragonShadowSlasher hahaha what about punjabi and sikhs ??
@@EragonShadowSlasher bro then you living in gupta era or something , and it doesn't matter what happened in past and brag about it , we should live in present and see what is happening now and today's bjp is not doing pro India or pro hindu deeds , he just doing pro big cooperates firm deeds and anti muslim deeds , thats it .
he is saying northern hindus bhakt hai.
Why is this so much based on religion- sikhs Hindus Muslims etc? I think this whole national interest is a big load of rubbish
Shekhar Ji,
By seeing your opening comments looks like you are sure that these laws will be benefiting Farmers, then how difficult is that to convince them, they would love your guidance.
Also, 1974 Grain PDC is presented differently. Her acts were for sure for larger sections of Society AND it’s exactly opposite now!!
They aren't farmers. Majority of them are
"MIDDLE MEN" don't sell us bullshit SG.
govt. never used forced against those protesting in Saheen Bagh... this episode was not good
Expecting a episode on netaji.
Somehow you seem to justify social divide being pursued today and lament it has not worked in punjab.
are you ok with these being implemented in other states except punjab,haryna.. Because anyhow other state farmers are already not getting under the present system if these reformations yield negative results we can roll back..
It's politics
@@abeeshsundara6443 that's why they are demanding msp law along with repealing 3 laws
Sir I liked the way you talked about persuasion required for public policy. Could you please have a seperate session on shaping of public opinion in India and the externalities from that. Thank you
Sir you are disguising political motivation with persuasion. If persuasion was so important then these protesters would have been persuaded for atleast something. The very fact that they are shifting the goal posts further away is a testimony of political motivations. This here is purely politics to not let center do meaningful reforms so that they don't get any more cast in titanium. Thanks for great journalism. Edited - last sentence is pure respectful appreciation.
i think we are over analyzing by assuming bjp don’t know these things!
All asked why bihar did not benefit from apmc amendment? For free market u have to open other state market also. A bihar farmer cant sell all his produce only in bihar. Other states have to allow buying selling from other states to benefit from free market. Pls research more before u speak. Farmers are already in icu and these reform are important and ur half baked knowledge is not helping
Bihar farmers sell their wheat in Punjab and traders can come into Bihar and purchase goods to their heart's content - there is no law saying that agricultural goods can be transported across state lines. Do your research.
In one sentence : India is not ready for a neoliberal reform yet, we need to frame it in other way.
But here we are talking about comparatively prosperous farmers. Others , all over the country want it and support it. They have been begging for it , why should they suffer.
@@aryamasingh3676 I totally agree brother, I'm from Gujarat and we need this reform though we are not as prosperous as Punjab when it comes to agriculture.....and since when blocking highways is called protest?
@@Secular_Saddam_Hussein I live in Delhi. They are not just blocking one or two roads. They have literally blocked every major road. What about our lives? What about thousands of crores of rupees the country lost? All the ppl involved in transportation industry, what about them? Truck drivers loose salary as penalty for the no of days they deliver late? What about ambulance? So many other thing.... what about those ppl. Are they not citizen of the country? Or everybody will be sidelined for the farmer's unreasonable demands for which they have no explanation except that they think this will happen and we want this.
SG, will you please explain as to why richest farmers of India are agitating against the Farmers Laws whereas the poor or the poorest farmers want immediate implementation of Farmers Law?
Very polished support for change of heart for ram raaj.
After things go wrong everyone becomes an expert.
well said...if it fails - "see..i told you before"
Obviously, hindsight is a thing you know...
Now I understand reformations in this country is why very tough
Modi has emotional requirement of taking up challenge and where none exist then to create one. Example .... Land acquisition ordinance, demonetization, farm laws ordinance etc
My humble rebut to your points
1. Even in farmers bill there is Hindu Muslim ?
2 . You are forgetting even in Akalidal there are farmer middle man that’s why Harsimrat badal resigned after the bill passed not during the progress which she was aware off.
3. Congress even though they wanted to do the same as mentioned in their manifesto , they are against this now because they can’t accept the fact they are declining all over India and they want hurt India so they are joining hands with Cpm, ultra liberals. They are misleading information about the farm laws. Few weeks ago one of the spokesperson of Congress said 100s will protest in support of Punjab farmers from nasik, now they are gathered in Mumbai, how was he so sure off that ?
4. AAP implemented 3 laws in November but they didn’t expect to become this big protest so they are backing off .
5. Poor Punjabi’s are Dilwale they are misled by middleman emotionally making them protest.
6. Yes you are right they are stronger as a community and they serve all. That’s why they made them protest in Punjab first, when all infrastructure ready to make them stay away from home for month they sent them to capital
7. Thanks for acknowledging left influencing.. specially now the China wants to muzzle India’s growth it will go to any level to do that
8. Yes none of the agencies raid will scare any in Punjab because every one knows how all of them are corrupt and owns how much of Punjab irrespective who they are
9. Lakhs of farmers died till now its time to raise above 2 and 1/2 state and they cannot declare what the rest of the countries farmers deserve.
10. It is not lack of understanding of ground levels, yes it’s definitely lack of understanding about the oppositions mental state and how far they will go against to the growth of farmers and the county.
11. In China or Russia you can’t protest for 60 + days and ruin the local economy 1000s of Crores, you will not have the right to fight or freedom of speech you will be behind bars. May be dead by now!
12. We have check our eyes or ears if we didn’t see or hear any protest of flag by Khalistani in USA ,UK , or India ... and other pictures!
Lot of presumptions. You have made Farmers issue a religious one. Totally wrong. Haryana farmers are Hindus. They are part of the protests. The issue concerns the farmers of these two states. Period. If Bihar farmers were the affected ones, they also would have agitated. Yes, political parties are taking advantage. But this has nothing to do with religion. Poor analysis
A particular arrogant state should never be allowed to dictate the entire nation..

Mr Gupta started rambling on towards the end, but the mistakes made by Modi government are it has no credibility in most of Punjab and large parts of the North . Same with the useless congress party. Sadly a missed opportunity our politics are so useless they have hollowed out democracy , we have sycophants parading has strong men.
BJP rules Central India-i.e UP,MP,Gujarat not North-Haryana won for 1st time in 2014 and barely won again and cant retain it, Uttarakhand,HP, Rajasthan keep rotating INC-BJP, Punjab a separate, J&K too and Chandigarh also not a state. Delhi- not in power in LS since 1998.

Very good analysis, Shekhar 👍🏼👍🏼
10:30 what makes you feel that the Govt which has acted like an 'Emperor without clothes' wouldnt resort to violence to quell these protests?
Those protesting aren't Muslims. They are Sikhs.
Mostly Gupta ji makes sense, today is complete crap!
This guy SG does not leave any stone unturned to blame govt for good things also.
Maharashtra farmers will get a lot of benefit from this farm laws. But sadly for 1 crore farmers other farmers are suffering.
How can anyone make an absurd statement of a bill that has no regional reference. Except for APMC act which is applicable in certain states, bill is same 4 all. Explain how is it benefitting farmers of ur region. Forgotten the pepsi episode...it seems.
Still there is no explanation, why progressive rich states like Andhra, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu are not agitating???
There are again co operative societies in Maharashtra that makes sure that prices are maintained just like MSP . Lots of politics is based on it .

Sir,very exceedingly well analysed and insightful,hope the govt had sought communication, wish wise counsel prevails
Mr.Sahni are you trying to say that hereafter laws will be made as per individuals whims & fancies and wishes???
Sorry to say these kind of precedences are dangerous and atleast nationalist Modi Govt.wont tolerate it. One more thing offer to Farm bills holding back subject to Farmers accepting Govt.proposal and closing down all protest and going back home.
If not all proposals tabled by Govt during these 11 rounds of discussions are 'Off the table".
00:50 Farmers didnt change any goal-post, their demand from start has been for a legal guarantee of MSP. Though the guaranteed procurement is not practical, but a legalised MSP as suggested by Agronomist Davinder Sharma is workable.
Don’t listen to davinder Sharma 😂😆 many other economists have questioned him and his views
Also msp can’t be a law....it was a verbal guarantee back then and it can only become a written guarantee (that it won’t be discontinued) now
But govt accepted for msp demand
@Sant Matta go and tell your state govt to give you MSP. why centre should give MSP to punjab & haryana farmers?
Mr. S.Gupta , earlier you were happy with New Farm Law of Mr. Modi govt. Now I am confused.🙁Mani Venkataramana. DE. U.S.A.
You agree with the laws. Would you give up your right to legal recourse? Govt says that the MSRP under their rule was increased. MSRP if not enforceable is useless. Please look at the fine print.
