Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

But looks like the Farmers body Rejected it, maybe it's a good thing they did.

So is this protests led by the gangs only from Punjab?. Do we know if any other Farmers or Farmer organizations from other states especially Haryana, UP, Bihar, Rajasthan are supporting it?.
