Farmers, led by Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, announced plans to march to Delhi on February 13. Demands include enacting a law to ensure Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops. Over 200 farmers' unions, spanning the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, will join the protest. Allegations surface that the government reneged on MSP commitments made during the farm law protests, succumbing to corporate pressure. Preparations include tractor rallies, with farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and beyond converging on Delhi from Shambhu, Khanauri, and Dabwali borders. Demands encompass MSP legal guarantee, Swaminathan Commission recommendations' implementation, pension, debt waiver, and justice for Lakhimpur Kheri violence victims.
