1. Finally, farmers agree to resume talks. The 31 days protests have left some people confused about the Union Government's strategy. The media coverage is getting on people's nerves and the media, in turn, seems to be focussing on the protestors.
2. Probably, the government wants to expose the protestors, and, more importantly, those behind them. However, some of those who are BJP supporters wonder what stopped police from stopping the protests. Why haven't Haryana police stopped Punjab protestors in their State?
3. Those in the know pinpoint at the Shiromani Akali Dal for this. It will be badly affected by the reforms and the family could lose heavily. One reason for withdrawing from the Government. It has been sending the farmers, joining hands with arhityas. #FarmersProtestHijacked
4. Not all the farmers have been at the site for the entire 31 days. The Akalis, the main sponsors, are replacing one group with another every week. @capt_amarinder is a silent spectator having provoked the protests. Both their objectives is to weaken the BJP and @narendramodi
5. Concerned people wonder why local police are not acting against the protestors? Why haven't even High Courts taken cognisance of the blockades? Why hasn't anyone gone to the court and insisted on removing the blockades? #FarmersProtestHijacked
6L - Amidst these questions, come the news of talks. Farmers leaders should know that there can be no talks with preconditions. Time, the government calls the bluff of BKU. What is its hold? How many really support it? Where are all these funds coming from?
