The protests highlighted how Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh was playing a fixed match with the central government and only making a show of being in support of the farmers.

They highlighted how the chief minister was part of the committee which finalized the three Agricultural Ordinances and how he had earlier even amended the APMC Act to include the very provisions of the Agri Acts against which the farmers were protesting now.

They also highlighted how the Chief Minister had sold off the interests of the farmers by agreeing to the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme which aimed to bypass Arhatiyas to the detriment of the farming community.
