To mark seven months of the ongoing agitation, the farmers are observing ''Save Farming, Save Democracy Day'' across the country
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait today issued an indirect threat to the central government over the ongoing farmers' protest and said that if required, they will use Russian tractors to enter Delhi. According to him, the Russian tractors are very powerful and will crush everything that comes in their way. "It is a kind of an automatic tractor, when left on gear, it won't stop and will crush everything which comes on its way. When the need arises, these tractors will be used to enter Delhi. We are not taking our tractors anywhere right now, but we have several of these tractors," said Mr Tikait while speaking to ANI. The BKU leader has brought a Russian tractor to the protest site at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border.
