Assembly polls in five states are set to take place amid agitations by farmers on the Delhi border over withdrawal of three agricultural laws. Election dates for these five states, including West Bengal and Assam, have been announced previously, but the impact of the farmer movement in these elections and how far-reaching matters are. From the state election enthusiasts, it seems that issues related to the peasantry are hardly going to emerge in these elections.
Political experts feel that the problems of the peasantry will not be affected by the elections. Because the peasant is not the electoral class. Instead it is divided into regionalism and ethnicity. Farmers vote on regional issues and caste issues, but not issues related to farmers. Therefore, the immediate farmer movement may have little effect on a particular area, but large-scale farming matters do not take the form of election issues. They do not play a decisive role in victory and defeat.

Subodh Kumar, an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Delhi, says the impact of the farmer movement is not effective in states where elections are being held. Yes, recent inflation may have little effect. Because MSP is not a problem in these states. Secondly, there are no big farmers. The third production is just for consumption. But if elections are held in Punjab, Haryana or Uttar Pradesh today, the impact of the peasant movement will surely be felt.
Regional issues are more prevalent in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala. In West Bengal, Trinamool has been around the government from time to time about farmer laws. The Trinamool is also aggressive in parliament in relation to these laws. They are tying these laws to the central dictatorship. However, the BJP has put the Trinamool in the background as the Trinamool government has refused to allow 75 lakh farmers in the state to take advantage of the central government’s Kisan Samman fund. However, farmer leader Rakesh Tikite has announced that he will run the Kisan panchayat in West Bengal. But the situation is not clear on the success of such panchayats and their impact on elections.
