The acts, often called the Farm Bills,[26]have been described as "anti-farmer laws" by many farmer unions,[27][28]and politicians from the opposition also say it would leave farmers at the "mercy of corporates". [ 29][30]The farmers have also demanded the creation of an Minimum Support Price (MSP)bill, to ensure that corporates cannot control the prices. The government, however, maintains that the laws will make it effortless for farmers to sell their produce directly to big buyers, and stated that the protests are based on misinformation. [ 31][32][33]
Soon after the acts were introduced, unions began holding local protests, mostly in Punjab. After two months of protests, farmer unions—mainly from Punjaband Haryana—began a movement named Dilhi Chalo(transl. Let's go to Delhi), in which tens of thousands of farming union members marched towards the nation's capital. The Indian government ordered the police and law enforcement of various states to attack the protesters using water cannons, batons, and tear gas to prevent the farmer unions from entering into Haryanafirst and then Delhi. On 26 November 2020, a nationwide general strikeof 250 million people, as per trade unions claim, took place in support of the farmer unions.[34] On 30 November, an estimated crowd of 200,000 and 300,000 farmers was converging at various border points on the way to Delhi.[35] On 21 March specific mention was made of Bengaluru, "….you (farmers) have to turn Bengaluru into Delhi. You will have to lay siege to the city from all directions".[36] Transport unions representing over 14 million truck drivers have come out in support of the farmer unions.[37] On 26 January, tens of thousands of the farmers held a farmer's paradewith a large convoy of tractors and drove into Delhi. The protesters deviated from the pre-sanctioned routes permitted by the Delhi Police. [
