If everything comes from abroad, what will the farmer grow? Akhilesh Yadav’s big attack on BJP, raised sharp questions on import policy

News India Live, Digital Desk: National President of Samajwadi Party and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav Has once again taken on the BJP government at the Center and the State. This time their target is the government’s ‘Import Policy’ and the plight of farmers. Akhilesh Yadav has asked a direct question to the government that if every food item will be imported from abroad, then what will the country’s food provider do?

Farmers suffering due to cheap imports: Akhilesh

Akhilesh Yadav accused the government through social media and public forums that BJP’s policies are made only to benefit big corporates. He said: “The government is insisting on importing pulses, oil and now other agricultural products from abroad. When the market will be filled with foreign goods, then who will pay the right price to the crops of our farmers? The BJP government gives the slogan of ‘self-reliant India’, but in reality it is making the farmers ‘dependent’.”

Rising costs and declining profits

Referring to the farmers of Uttar Pradesh, the SP chief said that the prices of fertilizers, seeds and pesticides are skyrocketing. The problem of stray animals has already made farming a loss-making proposition, and now cheap goods being imported from abroad will break the backs of farmers. He demanded that the government should reduce imports from outside countries and help local farmers. MSP (Minimum Support Price) Provide legal guarantee.

Preparation and political meaning of 2027

Political experts believe that this statement of Akhilesh Yadav is a direct attempt to target the rural vote bank. In view of the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh, the SP chief has hinted at making the agricultural crisis a big issue. He warned that if the government did not change its policies, farmers would be forced to take to the streets.
