On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the repeal of three agriculture regulations. That has sparked a year of farmer protests. Farmers have been protesting around Delhi’s borders against the three agriculture regulations since November last year.
The imposition of three farm laws was a major issue in Udham Singh Nagar and Haridwar districts, which has sizeable Sikh and Punjabi farmer population, and the ruling BJP had been trying to counter the Congress campaign in the districts.
What Big Leaders are Saying about These Bills and Its Effect On Politics
“The judgement won’t immediately swing the election tide in favour of the ruling BJP, but much will rely on how the Congress exploits the changing reality in the state,” political analysts said, adding that “the decision won’t immediately flip the election tide in favour of the ruling BJP.” They further claim that the farmers’ unrest affects all nine constituencies in US Nagar district, as well as at least seven of Haridwar’s eleven.
“In light of the state’s forthcoming elections, Friday’s development is quite significant”. The repeal of the three contentious farm legislation “has undoubtedly harmed the Congress campaign since it has now lost a powerful topic that it was raising and planning to play up in the future elections,” Kazmi added.
He said that the party will now have to rethink its strategy on how to exploit the changed scenario now.
“The Congress still has chance to exploit it by going among the farmers and speak about the deaths of their fellow farmers during the agitation against the farm laws. It should raise questions against the BJP… of course lot will depend on how the party is able to exploit the development in its favour because there’s a lot of factionalism inside the party,” said Kazmi.

Tejinder Virk, national president of Terai Kisan Union, said, “We welcome the move of Centre to repeal it…It is a result of the ultimate sacrifice made by about 700 farmers during the agitation. However, our agitation won’t end with this as we are still waiting for a solution on other issues including MSP and power supply. We will also wait to end the agitation till the farm laws are repealed in Parliament. Also, our further move will depend on the meeting of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha on Saturday,” said Virk.
Congress Leaders Next Move In Uttarakhand Politics
Congress termed the Centre’s move as a “win of Indianness”. “This is has happened due to the struggle of lakhs of farmers and the sacrifices made by about 700 farmers during the agitation. We don’t believe that the government has done it due to the elections. It has done that due to the resilient fight of our farmers,’ said Ganesh Godiyal, Congress state president.
In-charge of the BJP in the state “He (PM Narendra Modi) had taken the decision for the good of farmers… but the farmers could not be convinced,” Dushyant Kumar Gautam stated. As a result, Modi ji reversed his judgement, and we congratulate him for it.”
The petition of villagers of Reini, known for the Chipko movement, was denied by a division bench of the High Court of Uttarakhand led by Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan on 14 July 2021, expressing reservations about their identity and integrity. The court penalised the distraught petitioners for “abuse of PIL jurisdiction,” despite the fact that they had sought the court seeking protection for their lives and the environment. The administration and judiciary have continued to ignore the numerous attempts of the people to seek relief and frequent warn-offs in the form of disasters in this region.
Summary: Uttarakhand Politics is in a deep hue right now and things need to be changed as soon as possible. BJP in charge and congress are fighting hands on hands.
