The farmers today displayed a massive show of strength with a mahapanchayat at Kandela village in Jind district, further boosting their agitation for repeal of the three laws.

Calling for a “wapsi” (withdrawal) of the laws, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait indirectly warned the Modi government that it could lose its “gaddi” (power) if the agitation continued. “We have so far talked about ‘law wapsi’. What will you do if we call for gaddi wapsi (removal from power)?” he said.
