Farmers’ distrust of govt SUNVILLA SAMACHAR will not go away with one Joint Movement Of Farmers Has rollback: Sachin Pilot Editorial
Shown Narendra Modi His Place
The joint movement of the farmers has finally led to the announcement by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the withdrawal of the three farm laws which can be termed as the mostsignificant political defeat of the PM in his tenure of last seven and half years.PM announcedsuch a decision without taking any approval of his cabinet. It will be formally done only onWednesday at the cabinet meeting.This once again proves the nature of decision making in this regime. The implementation ofthree farm laws was Modi’s idea and he withdrew these also unilaterally. In the process, in the last one year, countless deaths of farmers took place and there were continuous confrontation between the farmers on dharna and the BJP government’s law and order machinery. What was unique about the farmers movement which began from November 26 last year, was the mature leadership of the kisan unions and the dedication of the participants. More than five hundred organisations came under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and in the last twelve months, the leadership headed by Rakesh Tikait operated ina most democratic manner, allowing all political parties who support their cause to express their views at the dharnas, but always retaining the identity of the movement. As a result, the opposition parties, supporting the movement, took the hint and did not makeany move to take political capital out of the agitation. The two kisan organisations of the CPIand the CPI(M) led by Atul Kumar Anjaan and Ashok Dhalwale respectively did their most inmobilizing their supporters in support of the movement, but they did not interfere in theworking of the leadership. Atul Anjaan was constantly in touch with Tikait and this interactionbetween the SKM leaders and the left peasant organisations helped the movement inavoiding the adventurist path. Some anti-India elements tried to disrupt the course of the movement but they failed due to the vigilance of the leadership.A review of the performance of the Modi regime since 2014 shows that this was the firsttime that the Prime Minister had to make a total retreat in terms of a major policy measurewhich he tried to project as the harbinger of a new India. The BJP government hasimplemented other major decisions, like demonetization, withdrawal of section 370 relatingto Jammu Kashmir, passing of CAA legislation the introduction of four labour codes,announcement of country wide lockdown in March 2020 without giving any notice, but allthese have been operational without any major disruption to the Modi Government. Thefarmers are the only interests group which fought valiantly for a year and brought down themacho Prime Minister to his knees. This is certainly a watershed in Indian politics.The massive unity of the farmers has been able to force the Modi government to withdrawthe farm laws, but what about the other anti-people measures which still remain and for the withdrawal of which, the responsibility of launching movement, lies with the opposition. Isthe opposition parties including the Congress ready to take forward this gains from the success of the farmers movement to its logical end- the removal of the BJP government frompower in 2024 Lok Sabha polls? Only three months are left for the beginning of the firstphase of the assembly polls in February/March 2022 to the five states and this will befollowed by the end of 2022 in two other states. The outcome of the state assembly electionswill have its impact on the course of the next round of assembly elections in 2023 andfinally the Lok Sabha polls in 2024.The opposition parties including the Congress have to take lessons from the farmers movement in conducting themselves in the coming months before the Lok Sabha polls inApril/May 2024. The responsibility lies more with the Congress which is the major nationalparty now challenging the BJP in most of the states, despite its organizational weaknesses.Is the Congress aware of its share of responsibilities in taking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2024 polls?In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won 303 of the 436 Lok Sabha seats it contested.In 191 seats where its main opponent was the Congress, it won 175 or 92 per cent. Of the245 where it faced a party other than the Congress, it won 128, that is 52 per cent. Of the 12current BJP Chief Ministers, 10 serve in states where the Congress is the main Opposition.In the remaining 18 states, the BJP has only two Chief Ministers, - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara and is out of power entirely.

Covid-19 ex gratia After SC rap, state govt drops scrutiny, suicide also eligible for compensation A resolution was also passed by the state’s revenue department on November 20 stating the payment of the ex gratia amount would be made from the State Disaster Relief Fund. Sunvilla News: Ahmedabad The Gujarat government has dropped the scrutiny process for Covid-19 ex gratia compensation after the Supreme Court’s rap on the knuckle last week. It has also taken steps to include deaths by suicide within 30 days of testing positive for Covid as Covid deaths and provide compensation.Gujarat notified the changes after the apex court last week criticised the state’s constitution of the Covid-19 Death Ascertaining Committee (CDAC) via a government resolution dated October 29. The state government amended the resolution a day ahead of the hearing scheduled for Monday. A resolution was also passed by the state’s revenue
department on November 20 stating the payment of the ex gratia amount would be made from the State Disaster Relief Fund. Annexed to the resolution was also a sample application form, revised on November 21, to incorporate the health department’s amended resolution conditions.The new resolution, issued by the Gujarat health department, mentions four circumstances under which the next of kin of those deceased need not approach CDAC for the compensation. Instead, they could “directly apply to the district disaster management authority/ district administration for access to Covid-19 death-related assistance”. Apart from considering Covid-19 deaths specified on Form 4 (filled for medical death certification in case of death at an institutional setup) or Form 4A (filled for medical death certification in case of death at a non-institutional set-up), the amended resolution also expands the other scenarios that would be considered Covid deaths and would not require any scrutiny.These include cases of death that occured in the hospital or outside, while testing positive for the coronavirus, either through a positive RT-PCR test, rapid antigen test (RAT) or any other molecular.
