Beware of political workers who are trying to divide you on caste or communal lines because he or she is only trying to axe your unity, which consolidated even more during the last few months. And over 200 of them have become martyrs for the farmers’ cause,” he mentioned amid applause.

The earlier you recognise the true faces of such leaders the better.”
