Tikait added that the farmers' movement has become a battle of honour.

"This is a fight for our turban, we have to save our land, we have to save our honour. Therefore, we will work to fight this movement with more strength," he said.

He said that even in West Bengal, BJP people loudly shout slogans of Jai Shri Ram. While the farmers of Raghuvanshi gotra, descendants of Shri Ram, are going to be sitting on the Delhi Ghazipur border for about three months. But the government does not have time to meet them.

Further taking a dig at BJP, he said that the saffron party loudly shout slogans of Jai Shri Ram, while the farmers of Raghuvanshi gotra, descendants of Shri Ram have been sitting at the Delhi Ghazipur border for about three months but the government does not have time to meet them.

Chaudhary Naresh Tikait said that more than 200 farmers have been martyred at the Delhi border, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not even expressed his condolences for these martyrs even once. Till the time the farmer does not meet his demands, he will stand on the Delhi border and the movement will go on.

"The price of electricity in Uttar Pradesh is higher than in the neighbouring states. The price of diesel has also touched the sky, in such a situation, what will happen? The farmer is under the debt of the bank. There has not been any increase in the sugarcane rate in UP for the last four years, how will the farmer get his bank loan and how he will live," Tikait rued.

In Sisauli Panchayat, Chaudhary Balveer Singh Rajewal said that the morale of the farmers had reduced somewhat after the 26 January incident. On the 27th, the farmer was worried, after that on the 28th, the spark of the movement came out of Muzaffarnagar that saved this farmers' movement and saved the turban of the Sikhs. We will continue to accept this as a favour and together with Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, we will fight this movement strongly.

Chaudhary Digambar Singh, the youth in-charge of BLU said that till the government accept our demands, we will not return from the Ghazipur border and will not go home. Senior BKU leader Raju Ahlawat said that all the workers with their tractors will remain there till the movement is over at the Ghazipur border.
