The farming community of the northern districts of the state feels that the SYL canal is no more an issue as it is obvious that it would not benefit by its waters.
- The Former Deputy Speaker of Vidhan Sabha Bhai Gopi Chand Gehlot asserted that since the Congress has passed a resultion in Punjab Assembly to stop water to SYL and Haryana there is very little hope for farmers in Haryana to get water from SYL if Congress comes to power in Haryana also.
- Bhai Gehlot further added that with Congess govt in punjab Centre and Haryana the Congress Haryana MLA's may not be able to look after the interest of Haryana farmers on SYL water issue because no Congressman is raising SYL issue in their poll campaign and none has the courage to ask Sonia Gandhi to force Punjab to complete SYL canal.
- Knowing this fact he stated the all the farmers in state are up in arms against the Congress as they know that Congress shall compromise with their interest for the sake of power in state so they will vote heavily against Congress in the state polls and INLD shall come back to power.
Ranjit Singh of Pundri in Kaithal district doubts that the SYL waters would ever flow through Haryana. "Punjab is more powerful in politics as compared to Haryana and has more say at the Centre," he says.
