Ranchi: In a show of solidarity with the farmers protesting against the new farm laws along the borders of Delhi, Congress’s Poriyahat MLA Pradeep Yadav is mobilising farmers in his constituency to organise a tractor rally in three districts of Santhal Pargana on January 31. The rally will follow the footsteps of a rally planned by the protesting farmers in the national capital on Republic Day.
Talking to TOI from Godda on Monday, Yadav, who joined Congress last year after winning the 2019 assembly election on a JVM-P ticket, said, “At least 1,500 tractors will hit the streets on January 31 and cover a distance of around 80km. We will start from Kargil Chowk in Godda, pass through Dumka and make stop at Rohini Shahid Sthal in Deoghar district.”
