Rakesh Tikait's statement comes as the Union Cabinet is likely to approve the rollback of the three farm laws on Wednesday after PM Modi last week announced their withdrawal.
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Tuesday said that 60 tractors will head to the Parliament in the national capital as a part of the tractor march to press for a statutory guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for crops among other things.
"On November 29, 60 tractors will head to Parliament for the tractor march. The tractors will go through the roads opened by the government. We were accused of keeping the roads blocked. We did not block them. Blocking the roads is not our movement. Perhaps, our movement is to talk to the government. We will straight go to the Parliament," Mr Tikait told news agency ANI.
His statement comes as the Union Cabinet is likely to approve the repeal of the three farm laws on Wednesday after Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week announced their withdrawal.
Mr Tikait further said that a thousand people will head to the Parliament, unlike 200 people that went last time.
