He said that the BJP leaders cannot enter villages in Uttar Pradesh, if the farmers’ demands are not met.
On a day when the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) gave a ‘rail roko’ call against the Centre’s three farm laws, a statement of Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik went viral wherein he said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders could not enter the villages of Meerut, Baghpat and Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, and if the demands of the farmers were not met, the BJP Government would not return to power.
Once again offering to mediate, Mr. Malik said farmers would withdraw the agitation if the Government agreed to guarantee the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.
Speaking to reporters in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, on Monday, Mr. Malik said the Government had been unreasonable with the farmers.
