25 farmer protests every month in MP:Over 600 protests in 2 years of Mohan Yadav’s government

The Madhya Pradesh government has declared 2026 as the ‘Farmer Welfare Year’, aiming to reduce cultivation costs and increase farmers’ income. However, despite these initiatives, the state is witnessing an average of 25 farmer protests every month. During the Assembly budget session, Congress MLA Atif Aqeel sought details from the government regarding farmer protests held between January 1, 2024 and February 2026, including in Bhopal. He asked how many protests took place, how many farmers died or were injured in clashes with police, how many cases were registered against protesting farmers, and how many of those cases were later withdrawn. In response, the Home Department informed the Assembly that around 609 farmer protests were held across Madhya Pradesh during this period.
