The Centre was successful in carrying out the abrogation of Article 370 and the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, but with the farm laws, the situation is totally different for the government (Whichever way you look at it, Modi’s handling of the farm laws has been a complete mess). The current issue deals with the farmers whose tales of miseries have touched every Indian heart. Hence the government’s strategies did not yield dividends. The farmers too have to get down one step and accept the suspension of bills for a two-year period, an ample time creating enough scope for both the sides to revisit their respective stands. This stalemate must be put to an end and no further loss to India’s ailing economy must be incurred.
