Union minister Sanjeev Balyan is promising statues of local icons as an incentive for farmers to call off their protest, reduced to desperation by his unsuccessful efforts so far to carry out his assigned task of breaking the movement.
Balyan on Saturday told farmers in the Baraut area of Baghpat district that he would install statues of late leaders Charan Singh and Rajesh Pilot if they worked to ensure the protest at Delhi’s borders was withdrawn.
“I shall personally come here to install the statues if you ensure the farmers’ protest is withdrawn,” the minister of state for animal husbandry, dairying and fisheries told a meeting in Ramala.

A mahapanchayat against the three farm laws in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district saw several leaders not usually seen together drop their differences and share the same platform.
The gathering was hosted by the Desh khap, the second largest of 32 khaps across Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, on the birth anniversary of Raja Salakshanpal Tomar.
Besides Desh khap’s leaders, Bharatiya Kisan Union spokesperson Rakesh Tikait and Rashtriya Lok Dal president Ajit Singh addressed over one lakh peasants.
The khaps, the BKU and the RLD have been separately organising rallies across Uttar Pradesh against the three farm laws. Despite the common goal to make the Narendra Modi government repeal the controversial laws, they were avoiding being seen on the same platform.
