Till now the farmers’ movement did not look political, but the announcement made by Tikait to Chhoduni indicates the rise of politics in the protest. Agitating farmers have appealed for votes against those who do not support them.
Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait has said that farmers in Bengal will do panchayats. At the same time, another farmer leader Gurnam Singh Chadhuni has said that when BJP loses, only then the movement can win.
