Western UP farmers say they have become aware of their rights due to the protest and will vote on them

The year-long farmers’ protest against the three farm laws and on granting a legal status to minimum support price (MSP) is likely to play a role when farmers from western Uttar Pradesh (UP) cast their votes February 10, 2022.

The 2020-21 protest and several mahapanchayats during that time saw a high participation from Jat-dominated districts of western UP such as Muzaffarnagar, Meerut and Baghpat.

The movement once again brought to the fore the core issue of fair and remunerative prices to farmers for their produce. MSP, along with sugarcane dues and the stray cattle menace, have now become the major issues on which farmers say they will be voting in the state assembly elections.

The first phase of UP assembly elections will see 58 seats from 11 western UP districts going to the polls February 10.

MSP has become a big issue now, Chandraveer from Daha village in Baghpat district told Down To Earth. “For an MSP of Rs 2,015 per quintal of wheat, farmers in UP mandis (wholesale markets) get only Rs 1,500,” Chandraveer said.

Farmers in UP have not been getting fair prices for their wheat and paddy crops for years, owing to inefficient working of the mandis.
