Bread and butter issues take centrestage
The 13-month-long farmers’ agitation against the Narendra Modi government is not a talking point in this Punjab election. Having won the battle against the government’s attempt to corporatise agriculture, farmers now face a bigger fight against rising agricultural input costs.
