Why are farmers protesting again, as seen in the recent Delhi Chalo march
Analyzing the reasons behind the ongoing farmers' protests and demonstrations.
The farmers are protesting for various reasons, including:
- Repealing of new farm laws: Farmers are demanding the repeal of new agricultural laws passed by the Indian government, which they believe will benefit large corporations at the expense of small-scale farmers.
- Minimum Support Price (MSP): Farmers are demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support prices to ensure fair compensation for their crops.
- Electricity Amendment Bill: Farmers are opposing the proposed electricity amendment bill, which may lead to an increase in power tariffs.
- Fear of losing bargaining power: Farmers fear that deregulation will weaken their bargaining power with agribusinesses and corporations.
