Meanwhile protesting farmers also Siege the BJP whose government in the Centre, there were also little clashes between farmers and the police.
Farmers rejected the government’s proposals for changes in-laws, even as the Centre in a written bid assured the minimum support price for crops. The farmers’ groups received the request with amendments that the government intends to carry out.
This occurs a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s talks with farmers failed as farmer leaders denied the government’s offer to amend new farm laws, stating they would settle for nothing less than the scrapping of the statutes.
