Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait was allegedly attacked by some unidentified miscreants during a protest rally on Friday against the Pahalgam terror incident.
Bhartiya Kisan Union(BKU) national spokesperson Rakesh Tikait has stated that he was trying for a truce between warring former BJP legislator Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion and his successor sitting MLA Umesh Kumar in Haridwar.
Even as Bharatiya Kisan Union ( BKU) was holding a massive protest in Meerut and even forcefully entered the Paratpur police station last night over anomolies in the election process in the sugarcane committees, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav has objected to rigging of polls in the sugarcane committee elections and has held the ruling Uttar Pradesh BJP responsible for this anti-democratic work.
BKU spokesperson Rajesh Tikait said, "First in 2008, then in 2021 and at present also the situation is similar. We will not shy away from getting shot in the chest."
The farmers union, Bharatiya Kisan Union BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) has demanded that a new agriculture policy based on the demands made by them should be in place by January 21 in Punjab.
His statement comes days after the Centre repealed the three agricultural laws against which several farmers' unions had been protesting for nearly a year.
Tikait rubbished the view that MSP for several farm produce will put a huge burden on the government exchequer.
The farmers were seen celebrating as they left their protest site at Kaushambi (Delhi-UP border), after suspending their year-long protest against the three farm laws.
Tikait, along with other farmers, will reach their home in Sauram, via Sisauli, Modinagar, Meerut, Daurala Toll Plaza and Mansurpur, celebrating their victory.
