Bharatiya Janata Party State president K. Annamalai claimed on Tuesday that the people of the State had “accepted” the three farm laws.
He told reporters here that “true farmers” from the State had not staged any protests against the farm laws. Aspects from the three laws such as contract farming have already been enacted in the State, he said.
Terming the Lakhimpur Kheri violence in Uttar Pradesh, where four farmers were allegedly mowed down by a vehicle that was part of the convoy of a Union Minister of State, a “sad incident”, Mr. Annamalai stated that the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath had promised that the guilty would be punished. Urging the Opposition parties to not politicise the incident, he asserted that the Lakhimpur Kheri violence and the farmers’ protest against the farm laws were separate issues.

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.
