Sharing My Take on
Why Repeal #FarmLaws2020
1. But for Limited Entry 33 in List III most of the Acts is Unconstitutional with Agriculture and intra-state trade both being primarily State Subjects

2. Essential Commodity Act amendment Hurts all Indians Food Prices
3. Alternate Market to APMC is Bad idea as there is no restriction ever for Farmer to Sell anywhere to anyone at any time the restriction was on unregulated buyers who exploited farmers in the past and with decades of hard work APMC came into existence with eNaam integrating
3. contd
APMC is the Best Place for Fair Price Discovery for all Farmers, most maligned as middlemen
86,889 APMC Agents known as #Aarthiyas in some parts are Common Service Providers to both farmers (1,68,61,959) and Traders (1,51,962)

4. Unregulated Corporate Farming, Legalizing below MSP trade thru Backdoor of Contract farming would be a BIG disaster and is designed to puncture #MSP and #APMC Price discovery by Reverting back to the Pre-independence exploitative opaque system
5. All three Laws are
Pro-Corporate with No limits on Hoarding, Price Manipulation and Legalized below MSP Trade and contracts and no serious protection to farmers

Anti Farmers
Anti State Govt Jurisdiction
Anti Farmer
6. Below Propaganda by @myGovt and is Absolute Rubbish and Opposite
a. Farmers do not Pay Taxes
(Pay more GST and Tax on Diesel than Other Indians)
b. Farmers are RICH
(With Land Ceiling can Never be Millionaires thru Farm Income)
Every Farmer Pays more Taxes than 90% non farmers
c. @PMOIndia LIED thru @mannkibaat saying his Govt #MSP 50% Price on Cost of Production, He is misleading by measuring Direct Cost of A2+FL not Total Cost of C2
In the last 7 seasons Profit over A2+FK came down from 76% to 56% on C2 it is Either Marginal Loss or Marginal Gain
d. India is Producing Too much Food Grains and does not need, its such a failure of this Govt as to they could not take Indian Agriculture Produce into Export market, ie not Job of Farmers, its the Job in any country for Govt to support Corporates with good tax incentives
e. Neither Farmer now States are bottlenecks for the Big Corporate investments in the Cold-chain for Perishable or Silos for the @FCI_India its 80% Failure of GoI in failing to evolve a National PPP Model where shared infra developers can come up
f. Saying Farmers R mislead is🤭
7. Nothing Stopped @narendramodi enact all these laws in Gujarat state for 12 years as CM then in at least 4 more BJP ruled states in last 6 years as PM

Piloting Such a Reform in at least one state Federal India ie Union of States is Absolute Must

#FarmLaws #KisanAandolan
8. The #pandemic timing, The text is more like a corporate legal team than any constitutional legal team, Ordinance and RS voice vote inspite of opposition demanding for voice vote and @VPSecretariat not in the chair for such nationally important act all point to vested interest
9. #FarmLaws2020 can not be thrust on Indan #Farmers as beneficial to them when they say they are not, ie not Democracy and is illogical.

10. Farmers demand for #MSP_गारंटी_कानून_बनाओ after this episode where Parliament has taken them for a Ride is natural and justified right
11. Repeal #FarmLaws and Enact #MSP_गणना_C2जोड़50_करो #MSP_गारंटी_कानून_बनाओ are logical, reasonable, justified demands of @Kisanektamorcha Request and hope @nstomar and @PiyushGoyal take the matter to @PMOIndia level and #parliamentwintersession is called immediately
12. Enact #MSP_गणना_C2जोड़50_करो #MSP_गारंटी_कानून_बनाओ Amend all 3 #FarmLaws as Model Acts for States to decide as appropriate
Let 26th Jan 2021 be Jai Kisan Diwas with Happy Ending to the #KisanAandolan 🇮🇳🙏
