#FarmersProtest
#FarmBills2020

@PawarSpeaks of NCP, as the Agricultural Minister wrote to CMs and extensively campaigned to liberalise agricultural sector between 2009-2014

He is now opposing the new Farm Bills.

Bhupinder Singh Hooda of the @INCIndia proposed to amend the APMC act and liberalise India's Agriculture sector when he was the CM of Haryana between 2009-2014.

He is now opposing the new Farm Bills.

@capt_amarinder, The Current Punjab CM campaigned against the Akalis and wanted to bring in more investment from corporate sector including Reliance. This was in 2016

He is opposing the new Farm Bills. https://twitter.com/capt_amarinder/status/758172614346940416?s=19

And now the Ganga-Yamuna-Saraswati of hypocrisy...

The @BKU_KisanUnion before the 2019 Elections brought out a manifesto and demanded the Amendment of APMC act.

It is today not only opposing the reforms, but has blockaded Delhi against its own demands https://twitter.com/BKU_KisanUnion/status/1113403480851369985?s=19

This is from Chapter 7 of the Manifesto of the @INCIndia for the 2019 elections.

Today the Congress is opposing these reforms that it has promised and ex-Congress President @RahulGandhi has asked these farm bills to be taken back.

The @swarajparty2015 advocated for online trading and removal of arhatiyas or the middleman at APMCs, in this year... JUST 7 months ago

Today it's founder @_YogendraYadav is leading the "farmers movement" against these very reforms and called Bharat Band at Delhi Border.

This is the official charter of demands from the #KisanAndolan to the govt.

Leaving everything aside, there is a demand for the legal right to choke Delhi and all of North India by Stubble burning

Which society can accept such demands? What does a farmer have to do with 6?

The @cpimspeak has been campaigning for repealing these reforms and called the New acts a dangerous tool to destroy APMCs.

Kerala, the only state which is under the rule of the Communist Party, does not have APMCs.

Another myth that needs to be broken is that Punjab farmers don't want reforms

These reforms have been demanded most extensively in Punjab, Hayana and Maharashtra. For decades now.

Why are the farmers protesting then?

Bc. the interests of a politician are diff than his people
