Rakesh Tikait, one of the faces of ongoing farmers’ agitation against Narendra Modi government’s new farm laws, has demanded that all protesters who have been camping at the borders of the capital should be vaccinated.

Rakesh Tikait, one of the faces of ongoing farmers’ agitation against Narendra Modi government’s new farm laws, held 'Mahapanchayat' ahead of the West Bengal elections in the key battleground Nandigram.

Rakesh Tikait, , one of the faces of ongoing farmers’ agitation against Narendra Modi government’s new farm laws, will be touring five states in March to drum up support for the agitation.

"This time the call will be for parliament gherao. We will announce it and then march towards Delhi. This time 40 lakh tractors will be there instead of four lakh tractors," Tikait told protesters.

Rakesh Tikait, Uttar Pradesh's peasant leader and one of the faces of ongoing farmers' protest against Narendra Modi government's new agri laws, asserted Friday that farmers were ready to sacrifice one crop but will not let the agitation weaken.

The government wants to prolong the protest, but the farmers are also ready for a long haul and will not leave the site until the demands are met, said Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait, one of the faces of ongoing farmers’ agitation.
