“The BJP of the rich wanted to cheat the poor farmers with land acquisition and black laws. Nailed, made cartoons pulling hair, mowed by jeep, but fearing the public support of SP’s Vijay Yatra of Purvanchal, withdrew the black laws. BJP should tell when the culprits of the death of hundreds of farmers will be punished,” said the SP chief in a tweet (roughly translated from Hindi).

Speaking at a press conference, Yadav added, “Farmers’ efforts have paid off. It is the defeat of ego and victory of farmers, democracy. People will not forgive them. (Centre) in the upcoming polls. This false apology won’t work. People who have apologised should also resign from politics forever.”
In a major move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced the repealing of the three Central farm laws.
In his address to the nation, PM Modi said, “We have decided to repeal all three farm laws. We will start the constitutional process to repeal all the three laws in the parliament session that starts at the end of this month.”
The three contentious farm laws -Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; (2) Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020; and (3)Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 was enacted by the Parliament in September 2020.
Since November 2020, thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have been camping outside Delhi, demanding that the laws be withdrawn. There had been several rounds of talks between the farmer leaders and the Centre but the impasse remained.
