India (central govt.) also doesn't tax farmers even when they've made bumper profits from their produce. The moment a political party even mentions of taxing rich farmers, their politics is over.
Basically country is going to shits purely due to votebank politics, and this is true across party lines no matter who is in power.
Do rich farmers really have enough strength in numbers to outvote other populations in India?
They certainly wield power to mobilise poor farmers, leading to anarchy.
Highly recommend reading about Farm Bills that govt. had to take back even when surveys by Supreme Court showed that over 85% farmers across the country were in favor of those bills and wanted them turned into laws.
A large number of politicians are farmers. So...
