My article on developing a broader consensus & thinking through on the operating mechanism of “Legally-Guaranteed MSP” lest it become the cause of another agonizing status quo.
Food for thought:
42% of India’s population is directly dependent on agricultural activities. Of this 90%, the landless labour, marginal & small farmers either have no produce to sell or very small surpluses to sell. Therefore, even if the cultivators were to receive a C2+50% MSP price, it would not give them sufficient income to lead a life of dignity from their profession. The Q then arises is, why don’t farmer unions & political leaders look beyond MSP for salvation?

Jesse Owens of USA winning gold for the long jump in the summer Olympics in Germany, 1936. The man saluting behind Owens is Lutz Long, a German who shared training tips with Owens and was the first to openly congratulate him after his final jump in full view of Hitler.
After the Olympics, the two kept in touch via mail. Below is Long's last letter to Owens while he was stationed with the German Army in North Africa during World War 2. Long was later killed in action during the allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.
"I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.
My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me.
It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.
If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true.
That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer. Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.
And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship. I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.
I think I might believe in God. And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.
Your brother, Luz"

This man Arvind Kejriwal is a corrupt politician. Always told that - Indian politics has never seen such a chameleon .
As Gen . Late Bipin Rawat CDS - said that the country is fighting in 2& 1/2 front .
Kejriwal is that 1/2 front . No body can forget the Delhi riots / liquor scam corruption / 45 crore fancy Aam Aadmi mansion ..
4th Feb 2023: Congress held a press conference to state that Kejriwal got ₹100 Crore as BRIBE in Delhi Liqour Scam & used that ₹100 Crore in Goa elections against Congress!
Today, when Kejriwal is arrested Congress & INDI r saying democracy is in danger 🤔
Indeed political frustration & desperation is a dangerous disease!

While Rome was burning Nero was playing flute !
Following in the foot steps of Nero, Bhagwant Mann ji is singing tappas while people in own constituency Sangrur are dying of illicit liquor.
ਜਦੋਂ ਰੋਮ ਸੜ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ ਤਾਂ ਨੀਰੋ ਬੰਸਰੀ ਵਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ!
ਨੀਰੋ ਦੇ ਨਕਸ਼ੇ-ਕਦਮਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਚੱਲ ਕੇ ਭਗਵੰਤ ਮਾਨ ਜੀ ਟੱਪੇ ਗਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਜਦਕਿ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਹਲਕੇ ਸੰਗਰੂਰ 'ਚ ਲੋਕ ਨਜਾਇਜ਼ ਸ਼ਰਾਬ ਨਾਲ ਮਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ।
Very true Mann Sahib - a leaderless state - a rudderless boat !
ਬੇੜੀ ਦਾ ਮੱਲਾਹ ਨਾ ਰਿਹਾ
@NeenDhillon I have high hopes from him a saner sikh face who will probably use his vast experience to take Punjab forward i think confrontation won’t do any good to Sikhs in general and Punjab in particular Let’s hope for the best 👍
