Why Saini farmers in Uttar Pradesh aren’t supporting farmer protests -Ayush Tiwari

-Newslaundry.com

Loyalty to the BJP and popularity of Republic Bharat has made the Sainis turn their backs on the movement led by Jats who claim to have support across caste groups.

On February 1, Balbir Singh, 65, travelled to the ITI ground in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor to participate in a mahapanchayat against the new farm laws passed by the Narendra Modi government. According to news reports, the gathering had more than 15,000 farmers who extended their support to the farmer protests.

But Balbir was not impressed. “The Jats were bossing everyone. One said we’ll do this, another said we’ll do that,” the vegetable farmer from the Saini caste told Newslaundry. “I did not understand much.”

A resident of Ram Bagh in Bijnor, Balbir owns about four hectares of land on which he grows sugarcane and vegetables like carrot, radish, bottle gourd, and ridge gourd.
