Tikait stated that the BJP-led authorities was afraid of the protest spreading to different components of the nation. “The government is worried that our message is spreading fast. Farmers’ lands are being snatched in Gujarat just like in other parts of the country. It is important to bring the voices of the farmers of Gujarat to the fore,” he added.

Tikait additional knowledgeable that the farmers cell of Gujarat Congress is supporting his trigger and a “Farmers’ Rights Yatra” throughout Gujarat is on the playing cards.
