We have witnessed farmers migration for better life in states like Bihar, Jharkhand and UP.

The farmer is not our saintly anadata!
Yes they deserve respect for what they do but it's fact that he doesn't do anyone else a favour by growing foodgrains. Remember farming is his occupation that earns him a livelihood that provides for his family. Just like the rest of us.

Even after all this benefits if "Large Farmers" can't be profitable there is something wrong in their intention!
3
It is still ok but the benefits should be given to small and marginal farmers
4
More than our farmers it is the landless labour of rural and urban India that deserves our sympathy and government support.
5
.. problem is these "Large Farmers" are exploiting these benefits for there advantage and small farmers are struggling for livelihood.
5
Can we not start an agitation that benefits should only go to small and marginal farmers?
Can people in any other occupation hold the rest of us to ransom for similar benefits?
6
1. through an elected legislature 2. through legal challenges mounted through constitutional courts. There is no third way
Please explore -
What this agitation all about?
Who is funding this agitation?
Why only Large Farmers?
7
It is hooliganism and thuggery by #LargeFarmers, and those egging it on are no better than hooligans and criminals themselves
8
It is nothing more than a large political campaign by #LargeFarmers
9
But foreign leaders and anti India organisations housed in countries are totally not welcome to butt in.
Don't make our internal issue global
10
Why should the farmer have the first call on our collective sympathy and resources.

More from Farmer protest
MyGov has released an excellent booklet "Putting Farmers First" which not only covers in detail the current #FarmLaws2020 but also lays out in structured summarized format the work done by the Modi government in the last 6 years.
Some snippets.
On the current #FarmLaws2020, there is much debate as to what may or may not happen.
WHAT WILL NOT HAPPEN
MSP will not go away; APMC Mandis will not close; Farmers land cannot be taken way
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
Farmers can sell in Mandis & outside; More income; More jobs. 2/10
So what was the need for #FarmLaws2020 reforms when as per Left groups all was well?
1) Fragmented markets
2) Insufficient markets
3) Inadequate Infra
4) Inadequate credit
While rest of the economy was opening up, farmers were restricted. Result - Huge Income Disparity. 3/10
What about the charge that there has not been adequate consultation before #FarmLaws2020 were passed?
THE TRUTH: Two decades of consultation. Farm Reforms are perhaps the only policy reforms where there has been consensus movement in SAME DIRECTION by multiple governments. 4/10
So what are the benefits of the law that allows the farmers to sell in APMC Mandis as at present but also, and importantly, anywhere outside?
1) Better price discovery for farmer
2) Converts present buyers market to sellers (farmer) market
3) Better logistics in rural areas
5/10
