Stop guilt tripping me on #FarmersProtest . I pay taxes while worrying if I will lose job in next job cut. I pay taxes while breathing smoke from #stubbleburning . I pay taxes to exempt farm loans, for your free electricity, for Mkt neutral prices, for free fertilizers.
And no, Annadaata does not offer me free food. I buy the grains, which runs the economy and ensures MSP. I live a life of uncertain income, unsure shelter unlike a #Farmer. State looks at me like a thanksgiving Turkey. I am slaughtered at the altar of businessmen in farming.
Do not try to be God. Try to earn my Goodwill. We are citizens of this great nation. This nation is bigger than both of us. If you have issues with law, go to the Courts. This is what #Ambedkar advised. #FarmersProtest
All these farm loan waivers, free electricity and fixed price doesn’t come for free. It comes from taxes collected. More free stuff means more taxes, less money for health and education. Let’s get real. What is the productivity of agriculture sector? Lowest among all nations
Secondly, when you fix MSP, it only benefits rich farmers of #Punjab because 100 percent procurement of FCI. Is @PMOIndia looking at skewed ration? Why is FCI not picking rice from rice belt? True Hori of Premchand is in #Bihar, in #Maharashtra in #MadhyaPradesh
