Echoing similar sentiments, Shamsher Singh, 50, says, “Before this election, we used to love Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I had voted for BJP candidate in 2019 Assembly election too. But now farmers are upset because of the three farm laws. At least, the farmers should have been consulted before introduction of such laws.”
The farmers of the village, which falls on Delhi-Ambala highway (NH-44) grow wheat and paddy.
Conservative estimate put the number of Rod-Marathas in Haryana at around 7 lakh.
