"You asked me about exit polls predicting most seats to the BJP, to which I said wait for the actual poll results on June 4," the Congress veteran said. Haryana is known for "jai jawan, jai kisan, jai pehalwan". "But what did they (BJP) do. They brought Agniveer (Agnipath scheme), which faced opposition from the youth. They did not redress farmers' issues. And everyone knows the treatment that was meted to our wrestler daughters, who had to protest (at Delhi's Jantar Mantar)," he said. Hooda said that unemployment increased in the state during the BJP rule while the law and order situation also deteriorated. He claimed that the Congress' performance in the <keyword id="19912155" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Lok-Sabha-polls" source="keywords">Lok Sabha polls</keyword> in the state will have an impact on the Vidhan Sabha elections, which are due in October. "This is clear indication that people of Haryana have made up their mind to bring the Congress to power in the Assembly polls," Hooda claimed. Referring to the Lok Sabha polls, Hooda said people have supported the Congress. The Congress leader said that he had been maintaining that BJP will be "wiped out in south, halved in north" "Look at Haryana and Rajasthan...People have given us good support," he added. On the BJP's claims that NDA will win 400 seats this time, Hooda said, "I had been saying that it was a mere slogan. In Haryana too, in the 2019 Assembly polls, the BJP had given slogan of 'Abki baar 75 paar' (claiming to win 75 of the 90 seats). Everyone knows how many seats they later won. (BJP had won 40 seats)." Hooda said that he had maintained that it will be a direct fight between the Congress and BJP in Haryana in the Lok Sabha polls. "I had been repeatedly saying that it is going to be a direct fight between the Congress and BJP. And that has been proved," said Hooda. "The people have rejected the 'vote katu' (vote cutters) outfits," he added referring to the JJP and INLD. Going by the trends available late afternoon, the Congress appeared on course to win Ambala, Hisar, Rohtak, Sirsa and Sonipat seats. The grand old party had contested nine of the ten Lok Sabha seats leaving the Kurukshetra seat to its INDIA bloc ally AAP. AAP's Sushil Gupta, was, however, behind BJP's Naveen Jindal from the seat.

BJP failed to address key issues like inflation and unemployment, says Bhupinder Hooda

The three laws are: <ol><li>Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020</li><li>Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020</li><li>Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020.</li></ol> The decision comes ahead of the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, the two states where the anger against these laws has been the most intense. The protests that followed have even turned violent. “There may have been some shortfall in our penance that we could not convince some of our farmer brothers,” Modi said in a special televised address on November 19 where he urged the farmers to call off the agitation. <div type="image" title="46EBB817-19C6-4170-9376-5AECF7BBFA8F" msid="87792689" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A protest against the farm laws.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> “To make MSP (minimum support price) more effective and transparent, A committee will be constituted to take decisions on all such matters keeping in view the future. In this committee, there will be representatives of the central government, state governments, farmers, agricultural scientists, agricultural economists,” Modi added. Since the laws have been approved by the country’s Parliament, repealing them will also have to go through a constitutional process. The Narendra Modi-led government had billed these three farm laws as the reforms that the agriculture sector needed. The announcement comes on the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti, the first Sikh guru. “It’s a historic victory...I do not think the demands of the farmers have been fully met. The other demand of the farmers has been that the minimum support price should be fully enshrined in law, but Prime Minister has not said anything about that yet,” Yogendra Yadav, from a political outfit called Swaraj India ⁠— who has been one of the leading voices from the side of the protesting farmers ⁠— told a television channel soon after this announcement. The protests against the laws were triggered by the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/apmc-and-msp-will-continue-under-new-farm-bills-2020/slidelist/78230172.cms">fear that these laws</a> would go on to end the regulated marketplaces called Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMC) and the minimum support price (MSP). Hundreds of farmers from Punjab parked themselves at the Singhu border outside the national capital, Delhi, and have been there since then, demanding that these laws be repealed. “All farmer unions will sit together and decide the future course of action,” Joginder Singh Ugrahan, one of the leaders of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, told news agency PTI after Modi’s address.

Meanwhile, the farmers protesting at the Singhu border have started removing their tents. They were also seen exchanging sweets.

Farmers finally end their one-year long protest, will vacate the Delhi borders on Saturday

The Kisan <keyword id="372991" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="maha-panchayat" source="Orion">Maha Panchayat</keyword> in Lucknow on Monday was a firm reiteration of the six-point charter of demands that farmers have submitted to the Prime Minister. The Sanyukta <keyword id="329771" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kisan-morcha" source="Orion">Kisan Morcha</keyword>, an umbrella organisation of the farmers' unions, said that their protests would continue till their demands, including guarantee for minimum support price and dismissal of Union Minister <keyword id="12583565" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ajay-misra-teni" source="Orion">Ajay Misra Teni</keyword>, were met. Addressing thousands of farmers from several states, BKU spokesperson <keyword id="197789" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rakesh-Tikait" source="Orion">Rakesh Tikait</keyword> said, "Our 'andolan' is not going to end till all our demands are met. We will hold similar panchayats across the country and those who think that the issue is over, are sadly mistaken." He said that MSP guarantee was their foremost demand. "We want to make the minimum support price (MSP) that is based on the formula of C2+50 per cent (means 50 per cent above the cost of production) as a legal right for all crops and for all farmers. In our letter, we have reminded the Prime Minister that it was a committee under his chair that had in 2011 recommended this to the then Prime Minister and his government later announced it in Parliament too," said Tikait. A large number of farmers at the Maha Panchayat came from Lakhimpur Kheri and the issue of the October 3 incident in which four farmers were allegedly mowed down by an SUV belonging to Union Minister Ajay Misra Teni's son Ashish Misra, figured prominently at the Maha Panchayat. The farmers demanded the dismissal and arrest of the minister who is also an accused in the case. His son Ashish Misra is already in jail. Tikait said that he had learnt that the government was bringing a new policy on dairy development and the farmers wanted that they should be consulted on the issue. He said that the next meeting of the farmers would be held on Delhi borders on November 26. The farmers, meanwhile, demanded land at Singhu border for a memorial in memory of farmers who had lost their lives during the agitation. Tikait also sought compensation for the families of deceased farmers. The other demands included withdrawal of the Power Regulation Amendment Bill, withdrawal of all cases related to the Delhi border agitation and stubble burning. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Sunday put forth six conditions in an open letter to the Prime Minister and threatened to continue the agitation if the government failed to discuss these with the farmers.

Union Cabinet likely to approve on Wednesday bills for withdrawal of farm laws

New Delhi, Feb 1 (PTI) Hitting out at the Centre over "hollow claims" regarding the agri sector in the Union Budget, Swaraj India president Yogendra Yadav on Tuesday alleged the government took its "revenge" on farmers for leading a successful movement against the now-repealed farm laws. This budget has been marked by silence with regard to farmers as there was no mention of doubling the farmer's income or comments on schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), he said. "As far as farmers are concerned, the message of this budget is clear. The government, humiliated by the farmers' movement, is out to take revenge on them. The budget was characterised by silence," Yadav said in a video message on Twitter. He said there is no allocation, declaration or dialogue about farmers in the 2022-23 Union Budget. "Earlier you had beautiful dialogues, talks about farmers in every budget speech, even though there were no allocations. This time, no allocations, no declarations and no dialogues either. "Clearly, the finance minister and the prime minister are very upset with the farmers," Yadav added. "This year, the work to double farmers' income was to be completed. The previous five budgets had long poems about doubling the income of farmers. This year, when that work was to be accounted for, there was complete silence about it. "Since the last two years, we heard about agriculture investment funds of Rs 1 lakh crore. However, just Rs 2,600 crores have been spent," Yadav said. Presenting the Union Budget 2022-23 in Parliament, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the Centre will promote 'Kisan Drones' for crop assessment, chemical-free natural farming, public-private partnerships for the delivery of digital and high-tech services to farmers across the country during the financial year 2022-23. Taking a jibe at the Centre over the 'Kisan Drones' announcement, Yadav said, "The government said it will gives drones, like they gave farmer rail earlier. So from satellites, we have come down to drones. Hopefully, one day we will come down to the ground as well. Wait for Amrit Kaal or prepare for struggle." On Monday, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of farm unions that spearheaded the protests against the Centre's agri laws, threatened to resume its agitation if the government does not fulfil promises made to farmers in December last year. Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh camped at Delhi's borders for over a year, demanding the repeal of the Centre's three contentious farm laws. They decided to suspend their protest, which began in November 2020, on December 9 last year after the government gave in to their demands and agreed to consider six others, including withdrawal of cases registered against farmers during the agitation, a legal guarantee on MSP and compensation for kin of farmers who died during the course of the protest.

Budget: Govt taking 'revenge' on farmers for farm law protests, alleges Yogendra Yadav

Intensifying their protest against the three <keyword id="9970645" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="farm-laws">farm laws</keyword>, <keyword id="45092" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="farmers">farmers</keyword> blocked the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal expressway at some places in Haryana on Saturday. The blockade started at 8 am and would last 24 hours. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of protesting farmer unions spearheading the agitation against the agriculture-related legislations, on Friday gave a call for a 24-hour blockade of the <keyword id="6367712" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="kmp-expressway">KMP expressway</keyword>. The 136-km-long expressway is also known as the Western Peripheral Expressway. Protesting farmers, however, said emergency vehicles will be allowed to ply. Bhartiya Kisan Union (Lakhowal) general secretary Harinder Singh Lakhowal said the blockade would be for 24 hours. Haryana Police in the meanwhile issued a traffic advisory, asking travellers to avoid the KMP expressway. Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Navdeep Singh Virk on Friday said elaborate arrangements were in place to maintain peace and order, prevent any kind of violence and facilitate traffic movement and public transport on the expressway. Traffic diversions have been planned by affected districts especially Sonipat, Jhajjar, Panipat, Rohtak, Palwal, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Nuh, Virk said. Passengers coming from Ambala/Chandigarh side on National Highway-44 may go towards UP's Ghaziabad and Noida via Karnal to <keyword id="6360543" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="shamli">Shamli</keyword> and from Panipat to Sanauli. Vehicles going towards Gurgaon and Jaipur can take National Highway-71A from Panipat and travel via Gohana, Rohtak, Jhajjar and Rewari.

The Centre says the new farm laws will free farmers from middlemen, giving them more options to sell their crops. The protesting farmers, however, say the laws will weaken the minimum support price (<keyword id="133827" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="MSP">MSP</keyword>) system and leave them at the mercy of big corporates.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg too tweeted about the protest. Rihanna’s tweet brought global attention to the protest in India, which has been going on for months now. Farmers have been seeking a rollback of the country’s new farm laws. After a tractor rally took a violent turn on January 26 in the national capital, the government blocked the Internet in Delhi, and deployed heavy security at its borders. It also built concrete walls with cemented nails to prevent protestors from entering the capital. As expected, many trolls started attacking the popstar and some even questioned Rihanna’s religion. Many of them also <a href="https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/is-rihanna-muslim-indians-are-googling-pop-stars-religion-after-her-tweet-on-farmers-protest-3382226.html">Googl</a>ed to find out if she was a Muslim.

Heavy police presence could be seen at various places in Haryana and Punjab to maintain law and other in view of the protests. There was no report of any untoward incident from anywhere in the states. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), a former ally of the BJP, participated in the protest. "As the Kisan Andolan completes six months today, I again urge the Centre to deal compassionately with farmers and repeal the black laws," said SAD President Sukhbir Badal, who hoisted a black flag atop his residence in his native village Badal in Punjab's Bathinda district.
