He is set to launch his party s day-long door-to-door rice collection programme aimed at meeting farmers amid the protest in Delhi over contentious agriculture laws.
The Ek Mutthi Chawal (a fistful of rice) programme aims to blunt the opposition s anti-farmer allegation against his party. Under this, he would collect rice from farmers homes and brief them about the benefits of three new farm laws, against which thousands from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and other states have been protesting for more than a month now in and around Delhi.
