In an hour’s drive from Jodhpur, one catches glimpses of both thorny bamboos and extraordinary human resilience.

Lucknow: The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait called for a âHal Krantiâ and said they would gherao the Parliament with 40 lakh tractors if it did not replace the three farm laws with a new law to ensure Minimum Support Price (MSP) to farmers.
The BKU on Wednesday organized Kisan Mahapanchayat at Kirawali Mini Stadium of Mauni Baba Ashram in Agra. The area is home to BJP MP and BJP Kisan Morcha National President Rajkumar Chahar.

GHAZIABAD: Alleging that the central government was trying to drive a wedge between farmers, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait on Thursday said their unions would remain united and also warned of a ‘hal kranti’, or ‘plough revolution’, in Delhi if the deadlock on the new agriculture laws drags on.
Addressing mahapanchayats at Kharak Punia and Balsamand villages in Haryana’s Hisar district, Tikait said, “No one should live under the impression that the farmers will return to their villages or that the protest will end in two months. If the need arises, we will plan a ‘hal kranti’ in the capital. The farmers are the same as the ones who participated in the tractor rally on January 26, and so are the tractors.”
