On Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promise that the income of the farmers would double by 2022, Tikait said "this did not happen and neither the crops were sold at double the rate". He questioned the government policies and said that the big companies of the country get the loans and buy the government institutions.
Tikait also slammed the government for also selling its institutions and assets to the private sector. He warned the government that the farmers' protest will continue till the three agriculture laws are repealed and make a law on MSP.
