The ongoing farmers’ agitation in India has baffled many as the government, known for its aggressive stance, was forced to withdraw three liberalizing laws in 2021. The protesters continue to demand reforms, including making the minimum support price (MSP) a legal right and other benefits for farmers. However, experts argue that these demands would distort markets, increase inflation, and burden the public exchequer. The MSP has also been criticized for distorting cropping patterns and benefiting only a small percentage of farmers. Despite these facts, the demands of the agitating farmers are still considered genuine by some, leading to a vicious circle of misinformation in public discourse. The ongoing protests have resulted in disruptions and security arrangements in Delhi-NCR, affecting millions of people.
