The agricultural laws proposed in 2020 by India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government - the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act - have led to a series of events: the resignation of a cabinet minister in September 2020, peasant suicides, and national protests by various farmers’ organizations since November. The largest protest rallies have taken place around Delhi. In the months following the start of their protest, the farmers, mainly from the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, but also from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, camped around the city, ready to stay there for months until their demands were met.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut
MUMBAI: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday launched an indirect attack on the Congress leadership, claiming that there was a lack of strong leadership in Delhi capable of taking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 general election. Raut advocated the need for an alliance like Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) at the national level, hinting at a non-Congress leadership. The Sena MP said he had a discussion with NCP chief Sharad Pawar on the formation of a strong opposition alliance at the national level.
Congress is a part of the MVA in Maharashtra, and Raut wants the party to be part of a new alliance to take on the Modi government at the Centre, but the alliance should not be under Congress leadership, unlike in the United Progressive Alliance
