“The conspiracy of the ruling BJP to destroy this farmers’ movement is now exposed to all,” PTI quoted Jagjit Singh Dallewal of Bharat Kisan Union (Sidhupur) as saying.
Ghaziabad administration had given an ultimatum to the agitating farmers to vacate the UP Gate protest site in Ghazipur by Thursday night. However, BKU’s Rakesh Tikait remained adamant saying he would commit suicide but not end the stir.
