Hopes were tried to woo the farmers
The farmers’ agitation on the Delhi border against the central agricultural laws continued for more than a year. The most resistance in this was from the farmers of western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana, in which assembly elections are going to be held in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab this year. In such a situation, even before the budget of the next financial year 2022-23, expectations were being raised that the government could make important announcements for the farmers.
