The Modi govt has put very little on the negotiating table. It wants us to believe that the two proposed amendments in the APMC bypass Act are the most substantial concessions.
Farmers can lock in prices and buyers for their produce even before the harvest, and intermediaries can be assured of supply and price at the time of harvest.
The wealthy float above the crisis—insulated in air-purified cars, weekend getaways at farmhouses, and vacations timed perfectly to coincide with Delhi’s worst weeks.
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
If the farmers are not anti- reform why are they not willing for a clause by clause discussion as proposed by the government but want a repeal.?
If most of the provisions have been implemented by various States already, are they agitating because there are redundancies in the act?The acts allow farmers to trade beyond government mandis, without paying a cess. Is this not empowerment?
Yadav et al fear cartelisation by corporates, but what about cartelisation by middlemen? By regulating contract farming, which is already happening, is n’ t a legal framework being introduced which would prevent exploitation of the farmer?
Since the inception of MSP, has it ever beeen written into law?
Why do n’t the agitators consider the govt’s proposal for setting up of an expert committee?
Yadav et al would serve the interest of the farmers by going thru the Print report on the MSP debt trap and impact on the water table.
Several inconsistencies in the narrative.

There appear to be many contradictions and discrepancies in this article.
In case the farmers are not against reform in the agri sector, but rather concerned about loosing their lands, why not ask for safeguards rather than repeal of the laws?
Yadav et al fear cartelisation by corporates,but what about cartelisation by middlemen which drives the farmer deeper into debt? There is a provision of a penalty in case a buyer defaults. The farmer can approach the ADM for grieviance redressal, so does not necessarily need to go to the civil court. The acts allow the farmer to trade beyond the state mandis, without having to pay a cess, how is this anti-farmer.? As a number of commodities have been deregulated hé can stock these and sell later when the price is right.
The authors State that many provisions of the acts have been implemented by many states, so there is redundancy, right? Is this cause enough for blocking access to the national capital?
Yadav et al would do well to go. through the Print report on the MSP debt cycle and the views of agri economists from Punjab.
The moment I see Yogendra Yadav as an author or co-author, I just junk the article and move ahead. The Print must have some quality filters about what to publish and what not to. Sane editors like DK Singh make efforts to lift the standards of this group while opinion contributors like Mr YY spreads shit over all efforts
Indian: If you believe that Mr Yogendra Yadav spreads “shit”, I guess I am entitled to believe that the only thing you seem to be capable of doing is spreading “bullshit” !!!
After all, you are incapable of rebutting Mr Yadav with solid counter-arguments right?
The moment Yogendra Yadav writes an article these IT cell unemployed dumbasses start barking with all ad hominem remarks. They have no content or context. Usually only the first sentence is enough to “filter” these mechanised idiots. I believe BJP is a clever party but then I doubt myself when they spend huge on these mechanised douchebags.
Very true !
All Bhagats here. These laws are another instance of Top down Voodoo policy like Demonetization.., which has no father now.
Yogendra Yadav is like Forest Gump or Waldo, No matter what the issue, he is on the TV screen.
He could make a lot of money if he rented his vest for ads.
Elections, CAA, Prashant Bhushan, Farmers, every issue he is on TV.
He learned a lot from his mentor Kejriwal, how to lie with zero remorse.
Mr. Pappu Ji should start writing articles for The Print.
Surely his Pakistani-Chinese friends can ghost write articles for Shri Pappu Ji? It doesn’t matter if he has the intellect of a donkey, what matters is that his name is a “Ji”.
Pappu Ji has the entire Leftist world to back him up, the liberal media, his buddies across the border, the “poor farmers”, the little bleeding heart Dadis – that is surely enough to blow away a little ChaiWallah right?
C’,mon Pappu Ji- show us what you are made of, you 51 year old youth icon!!
we have entered a dangerous phase in our country where either its my way or highway . for some Modi can do no right and for others Modi can do no wrong . Even saner and neutral voices have started to speak in these binaries . Then policies will be decided by mobocracy . Whatever little I have heard from the economists , in nutshell these 3 laws are good for economy and agriculture About the authors at least I know one from the Nineties from his Tv appearances and all I can say he was a much better psephologist than his current role . I am afraid he is intensely anti Modi . Even his speech at ORF just after the 2019 elections sounded very anti Modi the way he observed trend and data of that elections .
Just the truth. This high pride has doomed leftists. This is why Modi can belittle opposition. These men like Yogendra Yadav do not understand economy in the least. While market economy has helped India to lift millions out of poverty, they would have liked to take us back to collective farming which was never practiced here. The shameless way in which they criticise the farm laws without an iota of intelligence is making people question them when they oppose GOVT’s really bad moves.
Fake farmers like the authors of this article and the rich farmers of Punjab and Haryana are agitating, complete with their tractors, foot massage machines, dry fruits sherbet, pizza parties will not be satisfied with anything other than total repeal of the reforms. Farmers in other parts of the country are not supporting the agitation. Ordinary people in other parts of the country are opposing the agitation. The farmers, both fake and rich, are being unreasonable. The government does not have to make them look anything else.
Flat arguments! Contradictory statements! Anti-reform and socialist views. For instance it says that if crop fails in contract farming, farmer would be huge debt. But if crop fails even without contract farming as well, farmer is still in debt and issues. Instead of working with govt. for further amendments authors of this articles are trying to foment issues. And we dont have lakhs of farmers on road. We only have a few thousands farmers influenced and misguided. My entire extended family have farmers and no one is protesting!
Farmers demands to demand to goverment is like seller ( vegetable vendors) forcing customers to buy his goods double the price or seller will block customers entry into customers house
ie. His freedom movement
Punjab framers are behaving like spoiled brats
Who crying more pocket money from government(parents)
Instead of becoming financially independent
Mr Yogendra Yadav, are you a farmer ? Why are you in the picture of this protest ? Or are you trying force the government to bend to your communist NIA mindset ? If every disgruntled group in India says which laws are acceptable to them, we will not need any parliament as people like you will decide which laws are kept and which are repealed ? Everybody else in the country are just useless voters sending MPs to parliament for no reason.
