While repealing the three land laws, he did not explain any fault line in the laws themselves, for him it was his own inability to explain the laws adequately. He merely failed to explain, and as a result, people could not get convinced, he said. But he casually evaded the flaw in the content. One kisan leader of Samyukta Morcha had once said that Narendra Modi speaks in a language that is dipped in honey, though without mentioning any real welfare measure. The kisan leader explained that the prime minister was free to be extremely rude, only he must deliver. He must care for his people who are at starvation level. He is leading one of the world’s largest democracy and it is people who are at the centre in such a system. In a situation of unmet demands, while facing deprivation, the masses have every right to resent, protest and demand. It is true that people are represented in the governance, and in turn, get justice and also succour, and yet, they have the right to flood the streets of their own country, and ask for what they need since there have been demands unmet for decades. The repeal of the agrarian laws is in fact meant to buy time. The state elections are at the doorstep, and appeasement is the prime need for those in government. The same is true about labour laws too. The implementation of the amended labour laws is also delayed for the same reason. It is again an example of how retreat helps to win. The system we live in today is not necessarily ethically correct, nor constitutionally sound. The ultimate plank on which governance is to be based is the cause of humanity, and it has been there that failure has built its nest.Repeal of the farm laws stands as means to soften the blow, till elections, and cannot be stamped as defeat. There is still time for that. (IPA Service,Views are personal)
