What are the demands of the farmers?
Farmers are on the streets of Punjab and Haryana demanding a law guaranteeing MSP for their produce. At the same time, United Kisan Morcha has also written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It has been said that there has been a demand for minimum support prices for crops, a legal guarantee of purchase, a loan waiver, and no increase in electricity.
Apart from this, farmers have also demanded 300 units of free electricity for domestic use, shops, and farming. There has also been a demand for comprehensive crop insurance and an increase in pension by Rs 10,000 per month. On the other hand, farmers also say that the government is not fulfilling the promises made to us, hence we are forced to do this movement.
