Police use tear gas against Indian farmers marching to New Delhi to demand guaranteed crop prices

NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian police on Tuesday used tear gas and detained some farmers who clashed with them and tried to break barricades blocking their way to New Delhi to demand guaranteed crop prices in a repeat of 2021 protests, when they camped on the capital's outskirts for more than a year.

Police dropped tear gas canisters on the protesting farmers from a drone at one of the border points in northern Haryana state that leads to New Delhi, where tens of thousands of farmers are headed on tractors and trucks.

Police have sealed multiple entry points into the capital with barriers of giant metal containers, barbed wire, spikes and cement blocks. The government has banned large gatherings in the capital and suspended internet service in some districts of neighboring Haryana state to prevent communication among the protesters.

The farmers, who began their march in northern Haryana and Punjab states, are asking for a guaranteed minimum support price for all farm produce. The government protects agricultural producers against any sharp fall in farm prices by announcing a minimum purchase price for certain essential crops at the beginning of the sowing season, taking into account the cost of production.

Farmers are also pressing the government to meet its promise to double their income and waive their loans. They say they will protest in New Delhi until their demands are met.

The withdrawal of the agricultural laws in November 2021 was seen as a major retreat by the Modi government, which was shocked in January that year when tens of thousands of farmers stormed the historic Red Fort in New Delhi.

After withdrawing the laws, the government said it would set up a panel of farmers and government officials to find ways to ensure support prices for all farm produce. Multiple meetings since then have made no progress.

The current march comes just months before a national election in which Modi is widely expected to win a third term.

The protests could pose a significant challenge for Modi and his governing Bharatiya Janata Party as farmers form the most influential voting bloc in India and politicians have long considered it unwise to alienate them. The stakes are high in Harayana and Punjab, where farmers form a sizeable population, as the two states send 23 lawmakers to India’s lower house of Parliament.

“We do not want to break any barricades. We want a resolution of our issues through dialogue. But if they (the government) do nothing, then what will we do? It is our compulsion,” Sarwan Singh Pandher, a leader of one of the farmer groups, told reporters Tuesday.

Pandher said talks between farm leaders and government ministers on Monday failed to produce any consensus on their key demands and the government refused to make a decision.

Some farmer and trade unions have also announced a countrywide rural strike on Friday.

farmer laws repeal chesaru but valla demands chusava 

WTO nunchi bayataki ravali anta; 10000/yr 60+ above farmer ki ivvali anta; MSP pettali and evaru konaka potey govt konukovali anta; loan maafi (idi debatable because corporate loans ni write off chesaru). free trade agreements ni raddu cheyali ani 
ala chala vunnai but Modi shah em kaksha kattale; 
modi next term pakka kada deshanni mogga gudipinchali ani bayata shakthulu pannagam pannayi ani bhakths vadana. 

sickulars vadana endii ante; elections mundu lolli cheste ne maaku emanna traction vuntundii because these are the important things that drive voters ani valla vadana; ippati varaku ee govt farmers ni pattinchukole so this is the right approach ani vallu decided. US, Canada, EU andaru farmers ni subsidize chestaru why not us ani oka side vadana(but US lo corn soya ki ekkuva subsidies; US lo one of the waste useless crop alfa alfa is grown which is not at all consumed by US export kosam which is very water intensive crop aa argument vallaki pattadu adi vere vishayam anukoo); also farmers protest are going everywhere; so protest is our democratic right annaru (but not at the cost of common man's plight though) 

mari intha chestunnaru kada, corporates toh poti (wrt to loan waiver or loan write off) should farming come under taxation too is my argument just like any other business; mari pani puri bandi ani anakandi adi kuda ravali if the income is above the limit.

They have right to move’: Punjab and Haryana HC allows farmers’ march, asks states to identify ‘protest sites’

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday allowed the farmers’ protests in the states, pointing out that, as citizens of India, “they have right to move”.

While hearing two Public Interest Litigations (PILs) related to the agitation that reached Delhi from the states of Punjab and Haryana on Tuesday, the court also emphasised that the state governments should ensure the safety and convenience of its citizens and take measures to prevent any inconvenience caused to them.
