(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist): Although the government is full of confidence in the new agricultural laws, the concern of the parties involved in the NDA is continuously increasing. After the BJP’s ally National Democratic Party (RLP) on Monday, now the Jananayak Janata Party (JJP) has expressed concern over the new laws and demanded a quick solution to the farmers’ problem. The party, while supporting the demands of the farmers, has demanded the government to include the assurance of continuation of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) in the new agricultural laws.
Significantly, the Shiromani Akali Dal, one of the BJP’s oldest allies, distanced itself from the central government and the NDA after wearing legal terms of three new agricultural bills. On Monday, RLP chief and MP Hanuman Beniwal threatened to withdraw from the NDA if the new laws were not withdrawn. Now on Tuesday, the JJP supported the demand of farmers to give a written assurance to continue the MSP in the new laws. The difficulty for the BJP is that its government in Haryana rests on the JJP’s crutches.
JJP President Ajay Chautala said that the government should resolve the farmers’ problem as soon as possible. MSP should be included in agricultural laws to suit the demand of farmers. Annadata of the country is getting upset on the streets. In such a situation, the government should increase its heart and accept the demands of the farmers.
