All agitation, strikes and indiscipline on the street of India will be noticed due to elections in three States and of Center in 2019. Modi is to get ready to tackle this nuisance for which our democratic system permit. Result of no correction in governance and political reforms. Like parliament, whole country may come to halt.
These farmers are a divided lot! They are helpless pawns in the hands of politicians & unscrupulous middlemen. They are used & thrown like toilet paper & now it the turn of the opposition to use them!Pity their state of affairs!
Throwing the milk for protest...To he!! with such protests on a land when the same milk giver is worshiped as a mother. Protests can be in many ways, but this kind will throw them into he!! of a life for sure.
Its high time the Supreme Court intervenes now. The politicians will continue to give doles to the farmers to keep themselves in power. This way there will never be a permanent solution. There are simply too many people dependent on agriculture. STOP these loan waivers now, they are breaking the back of the genuine taxpayers.
The BJP govt at center should allow farmers to form co-operatives or community farming and sell them to suppliers online. They should have their own vehicles for transportation which will provide more job opportunities for people in the villages and that cost to be built in the products they sell.
The govt should also invest in cold storage vehicles to supply products fresh and faster reach to consumers from the farm. There should be competition in selling of products within the comunity farming.
Rather than giving loans to individuals they should collectively approach banks, ask govt to give them good quality seeds, help in getting quality fertilizers, water, power and storage facilities. The govt can use AI to transport veggies, grains and pulses instead of using the road / rail transport which can delay the consumables and wastage. This will bring in a new revolution Currently the middlemen makes the most on the supply chain rather than the consumers or farmers. Govt should restrict the loans to the big farmers according to their tax info. the farmers should also file the tax info but no need to pay tax as of now. They can directly sell the products to big super markets in cities within their states and use govt transportation for other states. road tax/ toll tax/ GST to be removed for agri products. There should be no taxes on the raw materials for the agri products This way both farmers and consumers will be happy.

Co-operative movement ?
Old idea !
But nice and very effective in getting remunerative prices for the producers of farm goods !
Eliminate middlemen !!
Both customers and producers benefit !
And.......the Co-operative movement is very strong, more than half a century old and going very strong today in Kerala for coffee cultivators, rubber planters, milk producers, coconut farmers, cardamom, pepper, nutmeg farmers......
And who introduced the Co-operative movement in Kerala and made it a peoples movement and turned it to a big success and a self sustaining movement ?
A.K Gopalan !
Heard of him ?
Who was he ?
And why did the movement not succeed so much in any other state ??

Co-operative: you know what is happening during Govt Tenders or auctions - not allowing other men from other group - see that the auction amount not to exceed beyond a level - profit amount are being shared among themselves.
which the BJP govt can use to do justice to the farmers and keep the promises it gave them in 2014 ?
It has given away a very large chunk of such public funds to crony capitalists like Anil Ambani through dubious deals in return for fat donations in black to fund its expensive election campaigns !
And, to make the situation worse, even gullible North Indians have begun to understand that the govt is ripping them off through extremely high petro product prices !
If, in desperation, Narendra Modi agrees to reduce excise duty significantly on diesel and petrol, the prospect of writing off farmers loans gets dimmer still !
Poor Narendra Modi !
He has taken even the stupid North Indian commoners too much for granted !
Instead of writing off the loans of small and marginal farmers affected by the agrarian crisis as he promised in 2014 and as the CMs of M.P, U.P and Mah promised later, he wrote off the Rs 95000 crore NPA loans of the Anil Ambani group and took a big cut from them for funding his high expense election campaigns !
Indian farmers are the nothing but scums. they are a rotten lot. they want everything free of cost. their productivity is the least in the world. all that they want is free meals.
if India can import all these food items, we will be paying only a fraction of what we pay as support price to farmers.
the only solution is to just give them seeds and fertilizers; NO MONEY. give money, they will drink it to glory. that is what Indian farmers are. they are a cursed lot. they are the plague of the nation.
another thing govt. should do is to scrap all APMCs which is a den of goons,corrupt politicians and bureaucrats and cheats. hand over the entire operations to big food chains started by reliance, birla or any other private corporation. let farmers produce and give it to these pvt. players directly and get paid. why should government be footing the bill and draining the exchequer???
these incompetent farmers need to be dumped into the depths of Indian ocean. It is said 63% of Indians are in agri sector and barely 1 or 2% of US. but in US the productivity is many times all these Indians put together. Really ashamed of our farmers.

Farmers in India (except big people) are not organized and in fact politicians want them to be that way.
It is hard to believe that the farmers get nothing compare to what consumers pays to buy the product. A big portion is taken away by brokers and supply chain.
In the US, farmers are part of supply chain and they get the right price for their product and become wealthy.
If farmers get the right price to their product every year and an int. waiver for three years to come out from the financial mess, who really want freebees? Gradually, all farmers become wealthy people.
To maintain the vote bank, farmers have been kept this way by our rulers like beggars. For the same vote bank only all the freebees are given in the form of perks, TV, subsidized rice, reservation etc.
This is a political mess created by downgrading our society and growth.
In a grown or developed civilized society, do you accept any of the current political leaders? If your answer is NO, then for their survival, farmers have to be kept as beggars, simple as that.
