Farmers’ body Jai Kisan Andolan, a movement of Swaraj Abhiyan, in association with various farmers’ organisations and unions has sought a complete overhaul of policy framework related to agriculture and all segments of rural primary production.

In a first-of-such-kind effort in the country, Jai Kisan Andolan, led by Yogendra Yadav, will present an alternative budget called ‘Krishi Budget’ on 1 February—the Union Budget Day-from a public platform called ‘Kisan Sansad’ at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. This budget would take up issues like agricultural policy, farmers’ income, minimum support price, and measures to mitigate the effects of demonetisation.

Yadav has urged the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to address agriculture in a holistic and composite manner as it touches all sectors of rural economy; recognise agriculture and all segments of rural primary production, and ensure that the quality of food consumed by citizens meets the highest standards of safety and health.

“Agriculture policy is whimsical, as exemplified by the decision to import pulses at Rs 60 to Rs 90 per kg, while offering minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 50 per kg to Indian farmers. Finally, demonetisation has had the greatest impact on farmers – there was severe cash crunch to purchase inputs for winter planting, prices of produce reached rock-bottom levels and unsold perishable crops had to be thrown away in a country that suffers food shortage,” Yadav, president of newly formed political party – Swaraj India said.
