What are the problems faced by farmers? Do they get a fair price for crops? Who will they vote for in the Lok Sabha elections of 2019? Bearing these questions in mind, The Quint spoke to farmers in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, in order to get a sense of the pulse among the country’s agrarian warriors.

From crop failure to non-payment of insurance money, farmers in Mathura say that they have been left in the lurch.

When crops failed, farmers of Mathura thought they would get compensation from the government. Farmers claim they had even registered their names with the relevant department, but failed to get any compensation.
