From the Punjab farmers protest it would appear that farmers and opposition parties are more than happy with the current farm produce income. They have such huge resources that they are able to stay away from home at Delhi border sites with several modern amenities plus feed passers-by. Just add to that if a family member is a govt employee he is in a most comfortable to legitimise his ill-gotten wealth into white by showing tax free bumper crop.
Yadav is wrong. The jumla of doubling the income of farmers was offered and trustingly accepted by the ever gullible public -except in the South with the exception of the most backward of the southern states,ie, Karnataka – even during the campaigning for 2014 elections . I am afraid that the incomes of farmers have stagnated or even shrunk depending on the produce. It is time the bluff of Modi is called and Modi sent back home . if any thing this government lacks it is erudition and knowledge to run India- Indiraji was far & away better , though we used to complain about her lack of erudition . Modi is busy trading flimsy charges and making foolish allegations many of which have boomeranged as in Tamil Nadu . In Tamil country even the BJP’s candidates are not using Modi’s photographs and are even asking for votes in the name of MGR with many candidates not even born when MGR was alive
Yogendra yadav now has become fiirst pappu putting pappi antonio mario in second paositin,pappu rahul in third position,pappi priyanka vadra in fourth position and pappu robert vadra in fifth position.Why this first pappu Yogendra yadav is quite that in 2013 pappi antonio mario called modi maut kaa saudagar and in 2014 pappu rahul tore the page of PM Man mohan singh in presence of PM. Why this pappi and pappu are quite that when China occupied AKSAICHIN Nehru said not a blade of grass grows there . Why this pappu Yogendra yadav is quite that how the Shias, Sufis and Ahmedias are mistreated in Porkistan . Why the pappu Yogendra Yadav is quite that twenty lakhs Uyghurs are in jail in China and China has destroyed all mosques and converted them to toilets.Why this pappu Yogendra Yadav quite that the katwas in Kashmir killed the Kashmiri Pundits and they had to leave kashmir. Why this pappu Yogendra yadav quite that in Patan pappu rahul said asee machine banaungaa ek jagaha sey aloo dalungaa doosree jagahs sey sona niklega
Farmers of India will remain in perpetual poverty as long as they follow the leftists like this writer . Modi or BJP can do nothing to raise farmers Income if they don t support farm laws reforms. Congress and leftists want them to remain dependent on state largesse and subsidies , MSP s etc. In 1991 Congress party was forced to initiate reform for Indian industries following unprecedented foreign exchange crisis. But it never thought it to bring reform in agriculture sector to wipe out or reduce farm -poverty as the Congress and leftists have vested interest keeping farmers as poor hostages as vote bank for themselves. Even when present Government brought some minor reforms for agriculture sector , they have ben successful in stalling those reforms with out providing any alternative for increasing farmer s income. So as long farmers are in the iron grip of leftists they are condemned to remain poor and dependent on state subsidies.
YY ji, reasoned arguments are futile in front of people who have decided that they don’t care for the futures of themselves, their children or their fellow citizens. All they care about is blaming Nehru, baiting Muslims and shouting down anybody who has anything negative to say about affairs in the country. No thought is given to practical matters of economics or consensus building. It is an obtuse era we are living in and we the public will need to weather the coming storms resulting from large scale deprivation and misery which will surely follow all the asinine economic policies of this govt.
Right, but all such people are still anti national. How dare you say the emperor has no clothes.
The thefts of farmers’ income was institutionalized by the gang of Dalals, Adtiyas, politicians, their intellectuals justifiers and media over years. Until 2014 nobody talked of doubling the income, a typical kicking the can down the road was achieved with the Swaminathan report. This Entire gang of beneficiaries wants no change. Roll back the laws is what they want in the name of the exploited. But that does not seem likely. In a democracy protest is a fundamental right and it can be exercised till the cows come home so long as it is peaceful, this lot tried to turn it violent in the hope of a retaliation by police which could be made into international issue. THEY FAILED.
The Andolankaris know how far to go, Anna is a living example, he knows when to drink his glass of milk. Andolanjeevis need to keep the protests going, it is their livelihood.
IF THE MONEY GOES DIRECTLY TO THE FARMENRS ACCOUNT, THE FAMOUS LOSS OF 85 PAISE WILL BE SAVED.
LET US SEE HOW MANY FARMERS WILL PROTEST FOR SENDING THAT MONEY THROUGH THE BROKERS.
It is obvious that one hears only what one wants to hear, reads only what on wants to read and quotes only what one wants to quote and downplays what one does not want to accept. That, some say is democracy and exercising freedom of speech. I wonder!
Income does not come from nowhere. Increasing subsidies, free money transfers, eternally increasing MSP et al is not the way to increase farmers’ income. It is just redirection of tax payers’ money. To increase his (her) income, the farmer has to get involved in the process from seed to plate, and not only in “selling” his produce. He (she) has to be part of the machinery in the supply chain. He has to plan his crops the scientific way and not the MSP way as is done in many fertile parts in the North West of the country.
If the farmer is misled and used by politicians and activists to meet their personal ends and ambition, he just can’t increase his income. In fact, it will decrease over time when he is persuaded by vested interests to forever protest, agitate, riot, lay siege to towns and cities and just not listen to reason. Beside he can’t ply his trade as his time is uncannily taken away by unscrupulous politicians.
Activists like MS Swaminathan, Anna Hazare etc. had immense knowledge on the activities they undertook. Activists can’t only support protests as a right but are also expected to guide those affected. Unfortunately, that is not happening in this case and in many such cases. The agenda of those “supporting” such causes is always something other than the cause. Sad.
Tail piece: She that does good to another also does good for herself. But she that does good to only herself at the expense of others does irreparable harm to others.
Useless person who only creates troubles before each elections but never goes into the substance of issues. Be it CAA or farm bill he is everywhere trying to agitate people. And now he plays victim card and making sweeping statements.
Polymath Yogendra Yadav has donned his Agri expert cap again. What shall we witness next? Defence scientist? Nuclear non-proliferation expert?
As far as this article goes, here are my thoughts.
This government is very ambitious (maybe a bit over-ambitious). They may not meet all the deadlines they have set. The fact is, a large number of people in this country still believe that the government has the right intentions and that they have achieved a lot more than most other governments have in the past. Another fact-no government in the past has met, or in the future will meet most deadlines. India with its bureaucracy, federal multi-party system, population, and myriad other problems and complications, is too hard to govern. The people of this country have realized this, and they are willing to place their bets on a government that has clear intentions and the willpower to take decisions without being lazy, paralyzed, or just plain corrupt. The government has made mistakes, but after six decades of a corrupt, dynasty-driven rule, many Indians have become more forgiving.
It is a sheer non sense article. The govt. had put in place several measures to achieve the results in this direction. Certainly it cannot be only govts. action which can achieve results. The sense less and anti nationals are trying to create hurdle, but they will certainly fail in front of the committed and strategic govt le.
Andolanjeevi is back – with a whimper….
He sets fire to something and then complains about the smoke.
Such people should be encouraged to emigrate to an Arab country with the hope of starting an Arab Spring……
Id.iot, you tried your lvel best to sabotage this plan and went as far as insulting Tiranga and creating law and order situation on 26 january. Country’s image was destroyed, because of you and you have gall to come to these pages even now. in a proper country, you would have been behind bar, by this time. Shame.
Looks like Mr. Yadav has not actually sold any farm produce in the mandi. The farmer currently sells his goods at a PROFIT of Rs, 0.5 or 1 per kilo. THIS IS THE INCOME for the farmer. The new farm laws enable the farmer to sell his goods at a profit of Rs. 4 to 5 a kilo. That is what results in doubling of income.
Doubling farmers income was the target set. Even if 75 percent is achieved it would be great for which the farmer’s leaders should cooperate in implementing the reforms enunciated in farm laws.
For a change, I agree with Yadav. But no one thought seriously about this election Jumala and this cannot be used to justify futile agitation against farm laws.
Yes YYji will now write another article enlightening us all how his useless farm protests will double farmer’s income. Commie economists are to economics what quacks are to medical science. Aur lootlo taxpayer money ko.

Habitual complainer. You object to bringing enabling provision to increase net income of farmers. And complain farm income did not rise.
very true.
No plan, no vision, only empty promises. How long can you fool all the people for all the time?
Farmers of India will remain in perpetual poverty as long as they follow the leftists like this writer . Modi or BJP can do nothing to raise farmers Income if they don t support farm laws reforms.

Doubling farmers income in 5 years is a myth. Politicians keep harping on this melody since independence for political gains.

Skipping the article to avoid wastage of time and directly coming to comment section
I do the same. Andolanjeevi writes pure rubbish. It is often helpful to read from others’ comments what the jeevi has said.
The author is a bad wisher of farmer and doesn’t want the farmer’s income to double.
Andolanjeevi is back – with a whimper….
He sets fire to something and then complains about the smoke.
Such people should be encouraged to emigrate to an Arab country with the hope of starting an Arab Spring……

The new farm laws enable the farmer to sell his goods at a profit of Rs. 4 to 5 a kilo. That is what results in doubling of income.
Why doesn’t YY advise the farmers to take a positive stand and talk to the Centre on a clause by clause discussion of the laws ?
Doubling farmers income was the target set. Even if 75 percent is achieved it would be great for which the farmer’s leaders should cooperate in implementing the reforms enunciated in farm laws.
For a change, I agree with Yadav. But no one thought seriously about this election Jumala and this cannot be used to justify futile agitation against farm laws.
Failed zhola wallah, aandolanjeevi is back …………….. Yaaaawwwnnnn.
Who reads this guy’s trash?
