Tikait further added, "the movement will not end now. We have a meeting on November 27, after which we will decide on the future plan. Modi Ji said that farmers' income will be doubled from January 1, so we will ask how will it be doubled? Farmers will win when they get the price for their crops,"

Tikait assured farmers of Sadarpur village in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad for all possible help. He added that as a farmers' leader he will put all the issues of farmers' before the government. He is also scheduled to visit Hyderabad tomorrow where he will meet workers and labourers to understand their problems.
