Chief Minister Nitish Kumar imprisoned the statue of Father of the Nation at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, so that Gandhi’s followers would make a commitment to Gandhi in support of farmers. Mr. Nitish, I am reaching there. If you can stop, just do it.’
धनदाता और अन्नदाता की इस लड़ाई में हम अन्नदाता के साथ खड़े है।
क्या किसानों के समर्थन में आवाज़ उठाना, उनकी आय दुगुनी करने के लिए नए क़ानूनों में अनिवार्य रूप से MSP की माँग करना, खेत-खलिहान को बचाने की लड़ाई करना अपराध है? अगर है तो हम यह अपराध बार-बार करेंगे? pic.twitter.com/yA6YaUtvOI
