Two FIRs have been filed against the farmers at the Kundli police station on Friday (March 12, 2021).

Recently, Rakesh Takait held a Mahapanchayat in West Bengal’s Nandigram, the seat from where Mamata Banerjee is set to contest the election. In the rally, the topic of discussion was how Takait wants to open a mandi at Parliament, clearly showing his obsession for APMCs and the income that middlemen like him receive from there.
Over the months, Takait has alleged that government will take away MSP from farmers but he never highlights the fact that how the government procures grains from farmers every year to distribute them to over 70 crosses beneficiaries of the PDS (ration card), which at no cost can be stopped and thus neither can MSP be.
