“The farm bill is impractical and against the national cooperative spirit. Nevertheless, farmers are in trouble today and we stand with them,” said Kakade.
“BJP government has a majority, it does not mean that they can continue to enact ‘anti-national’ laws for corporate interest. Youth Congress support the ongoing farmers’ movement in Delhi. Every member of the Youth Congress will fight till the end,” said the Youth Congress President.
The former journalist said, “We are not afraid of this ‘fascist’ BJP government’s persecution. If the farmers can bear the police brutality in Delhi’s cold, then it is our moral responsibility to support them.”
