      Very well articulated... first time I'm fully in consonance with your team... really comprehensively put forward...
      Good journalism...
      I just need to add one more thing with your saying...
      And that is- any rapid disruption in agriculture won't work out... need to have at least 2 -5 years to make the disruption directed to anything better... income of farmers to become double is challenging in terms of changing the mindset of the farmers... it's pretty much psychological rather than anything else... primary sector of economy demands something primary to deal with...
      Thanks once again...

      Don't mislead , no where they mentioned they were going to throw away food holding laws and neither they mentioned that those parallels private mandis which they mentioned in manifesto would be not having tax like the current law says. which indirectly would make purchasers to procure from private mandis rather than apmc which would lead to apmc to sufer thus the MSP . This stategy is same like that of jio of bleeding competitors till they are force to shutdown or suffer huge loss or cut down different circle to stay float. Here the farmers feel like Apmc mandis will be under threat due to cash crunch like BSNL,and MTNL.

    In spite of all the subsidies given to farmers they still can not compete with highly subsidised grains sold by the government at Rs 2 per Kg at ration shops. Even Reliance could not compete with subsidised petrol sold by PSU and had to shut down its petrol pumps. The government should give the farmers a level playing field by stopping selling grains under PDS. They can subsidies the poor in cash by direct transfers and let them buy grains in the open market like the rest of us.

      Amartya sen wrote a article regarding abolition of PDS. Cash based transfers or food coupons are not the solution to deal with hunger crisis in india. What if a drunk man in a family uses cash transfer money for buying his alcohol. Then who will feed the family?? PDS is meant to deal with malnourishment problem. Unfortunately there is a hell lot of inclusion, exclusion errors, corruption, pilferage of grains, aadhar mess etc. We need to follow kerala model to revamp PDS.

    Shekar Gupta's comments are a must read for all Indians and must be translated in all local languages and broadcast to the public every day. Wonderful analysis and logical. If the farmer's get to know the benefits of reform in the way it is presented to day they will demand these reforms and move away from their current position. Our farmers need respect and financial security. They should partner with the Govt and not fight it when reforms are proposed. Ignorance and distrust now dominate and every effort must be made to bring information to them. Unfortunately our opposition parties are so anti national they will not propose constructive criticism and work with the govt to improve the lots of the people instead they will provoke them to do hartal and sabotage moves that are meant to benefit the farmers. it is a shame that our media do not print the analysis of Shekar Gupta in all the newspapers and the AIR broadcast these every day to the public in the local languages of the people. The Govt also must listen to the analysis and modify how they approach reforms. The Govt controls All India Radio and the TV stations and can use them to inform the public the excellent analysis of Shekar Gupta and how the farmers can benefit. There are also well known agricultural experts who can inform the farmers to move in the right direction.

    22:40 Maharashtra fact. Most of that cost was from dam projects. NCP's Ajit Pawar was irrigation minister then. he purposefully selected useless locations to build dams where there was very less likelihood of water. (the curropt design of the scan at the level of Roshni Act) When a reporter asked: "why there is no water in the dams that you built?" He answered "what can I do? Should I go and pee in the dam so there is water?" He is now the transport minister in sena ncp congress govt. He canceled Hyperloop after work has already started saying that there is no evidence it works. hahaha (maybe a hint signal to the company to either donate to party fund for persmission or face losses) He is like one of those 90s Hindi movie villain politicians. NCP party has the best tactics in the world on how to channel govt projects assigned to pvt companies construction money to fund their party without getting caught. He purposely built excess dams so there are more balance sheets to play with and hide the money trail. Shiv sena is not behind too. A friend who worked for a Pune builder told me in 2004 that the NCP party fund donation rate was Rs 400 per square foot for permission in Pune Hinjewadi projects. That's how corruption increases cost of housing, coming straight out of common man's pockets. That's another topic though.

    So in a nutshell over the years, govt policies have benefitted Punjab and Haryana, and the rest of the country is ignored and now things will change so that's why the protest is centric in the Punjab and Haryana. Well, I want to see each farmer of the country being benefitted and hopefully, new laws can help in that.

    Very well articulated... first time I'm fully in consonance with your team... really comprehensively put forward...
    Good journalism...
    I just need to add one more thing with your saying...
    And that is- any rapid disruption in agriculture won't work out... need to have at least 2 -5 years to make the disruption directed to anything better... income of farmers to become double is challenging in terms of changing the mindset of the farmers... it's pretty much psychological rather than anything else... primary sector of economy demands something primary to deal with...

    • @0609Bhuwan
      @0609Bhuwan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      But how are the new laws disruptive ?? They do not stop any existing system like APMC or MSP only add additional options so the farmers can see for themselves what works well and for the private infra for processing to get built up before shifting crops... IS that not exactly the right way to make gradual change ??

      @harshitrautela6585 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Manjeet Singh Bro I support farm laws but your point about MSP is valid too and it should be considered.
      But point of consideration is that if freedom of stock is not given, then what would happen in case of bumper production. It will lead to wastage of such large amount of agri products if the production exceed the demand and hence would hurt farmers inevitably. Moreover if freedom is retained ,then infrastucture will develop to accomodate more thus giving leverage to companies and farmers too(as their hard work will not get wasted)
      So these points should also be considered. Hope you understand😊😊
