Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement on repealing of three farm laws was a big victory for the relentless protests of farmers in New Delhi, said State president of All India Agricultural Workers Union A. Lazar.
However, he said that Prime Minister has only blamed the farmers for not understanding the “benefits” of the law and contended that it was failure on part of his government to make them understand them. “He has not said that the farmers’ demand was just,” Mr. Lazar said.
The leaders said that the timing of the announcement only clarified that the repeal of the laws was not in the interest of farmers but after the recent by-poll debacle in five States, farmers’ announcement of intensifying protest to mark the completion of one year of their agitation and the fear of defeat in the upcoming State elections in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
