Namaste! I'm Diksha Yadav, your host for ππ‘ππ ππ‘π’π¬ ππππ§π¬, a bi-weekly Swarajya podcast. Recently, we discussed why Haryana was showing a very muted response to the 'Delhi Chalo' protests by the farmers this time, on our show.
It turns out that, unlike the last time, this time neither there are strong reasons nor do the farmers of Haryana resonate with the ongoing protest.
Here's why:
One, the 'Khalistani' elements hijacked the protests from the very beginning.
Two, the farmers of Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh have diversified their crops much more compared to the farmers of Punjab. For them, the issue isn't necessarily about securing Minimum Support Price (MSP) for all products.
Apart from this, Rohit Pathania explains three other major reasons on why ongoing farmers' protest is lacking strong support in our 9-minute podcast episode.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
