Not that BJP is ideologically opposed to it, but I wonder how much of the policy changes around the reduction in government intervention in food production and distribution are because of IMF stipulations. USA for example was not opposed to the three bills that the farmers protested against for a whole year. IMF and WTO always push for more private involvement in this sector. On the other hand, the industrialists that gain from these changes are in cahoots with BJP, so these factors probably compound each other.
