&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s understand the chronology: before the 2014 general elections, Narendra Modi promised farmers that he would comply with the Swaminathan Commission formula to arrive at a minimum support price for farm produce: a 50 per cent profit over the production cost. Post elections, he reneged on the promise and buried it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In 2016, he dangled a new carrot: that his government shall double farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022. Four years on, there is no mention of it or any sign of it coming to fruition. We are two years away from the deadline. Farmers&amp;rsquo; incomes are stagnant or dipping.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Then on Diwali in 2016 came the &amp;lsquo;reform of all reforms&amp;rsquo;: note-bandi, or demonetization, crushed peasants when their kharif produce arrived in the markets. Their economy lay in tatters while the prime minister sang paeans to his &amp;lsquo;master stroke&amp;rsquo;, building a perception that it would address the problem of black money. Today, neither the prime minister nor his cabinet ministers speak about the reform that crippled the economy and broke the back of the peasantry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In between, a series of policy measures opened up the farm sector for private plunder, including the three laws that the Modi regime unveiled at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, thinking that the peasantry will not be able to put up a resistance to them. The new laws came after the Union finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, announced a series of measures called &amp;lsquo;impetus&amp;rsquo; that even she does not talk about four months on. It must be recalled that she had described her 2019 and 2020 budgets as farmer friendly.&lt;/p&gt;

Post elections, he reneged on the promise and buried it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In 2016, he dangled a new carrot: that his government shall double farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022. Four years on, there is no mention of it or any sign of it coming to fruition. We are two years away from the deadline. Farmers&amp;rsquo; incomes are stagnant or dipping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Then on Diwali in 2016 came the &amp;lsquo;reform of all reforms&amp;rsquo;: note-bandi, or demonetization, crushed peasants when their kharif produce arrived in the markets. Their economy lay in tatters while the prime minister sang paeans to his &amp;lsquo;master stroke&amp;rsquo;, building a perception that it would address the problem of black money. Today, neither the prime minister nor his cabinet ministers speak about the reform that crippled the economy and broke the back of the peasantry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In between, a series of policy measures opened up the farm sector for private plunder, including the three laws that the Modi regime unveiled at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, thinking that the peasantry will not be able to put up a resistance to them. The new laws came after the Union finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, announced a series of measures called &amp;lsquo;impetus&amp;rsquo; that even she does not talk about four months on.

The only option: farmers' protest -Jaideep Hardikar

-The Telegraph HINTERLAND: Our structural problem — small and marginal rain-fed sustenance farms, over 80 per cent of India’s agriculture sector — remains unaddressed Let’s understand the chronology: before the 2014 general elections, Narendra Modi promised farmers that he would comply with the Swaminathan Commission formula to arrive at a minimum support price for farm produce: a 50 per cent profit over the production cost. Post elections, he reneged on the promise and buried it. In 2016, he dangled a new carrot: that his government shall double farmers’ income by 2022. Four years on, there is no mention of it or any sign of it coming to fruition. We are two years away from the deadline. Farmers’ incomes are stagnant or dipping. Then on Diwali in 2016 came the ‘reform of all reforms’: note-bandi, or demonetization, crushed peasants when their kharif produce arrived in the markets. Their economy lay in tatters while the prime minister sang paeans to his ‘master stroke’, building a perception that it would address the problem of black money. Today, neither the prime minister nor his cabinet ministers speak about the reform that crippled the economy and broke the back of the peasantry. In between, a series of policy measures opened up the farm sector for private plunder, including the three laws that the Modi regime unveiled at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, thinking that the peasantry will not be able to put up a resistance to them. The new laws came after the Union finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, announced a series of measures called ‘impetus’ that even she does not talk about four months on. It must be recalled that she had described her 2019 and 2020 budgets as farmer friendly. Please click here to read more.
