Farmers Protests 2.0: 'Poor' farmers with Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons, monster tractors raise doubts (WATCH)
By Team Asianet Newsable | First Published Feb 13, 2024, 12:38 PM ISTFarmers Protests 2.0: Social media videos showing modified tractors and farmers driving luxury vehicles have surfaced, although their authenticity remains unverified.
The resurgence of the Farmers Protest, dubbed as 'Delhi Chalo 2.0,' has been set into motion as farmers from Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, representing over 200 unions, begin their march towards Delhi. This move comes after inconclusive talks with Union ministers on Monday, with farmer leaders expressing continued concerns over the lack of clarity regarding legal guarantees for the minimum support price (MSP).
While farmers were permitted to enter the nation's capital during the previous protests in 2020, the current administration has adopted stringent preventive measures. Barbed wire, cement barricades, and nails on roads have been deployed, restricting access to Delhi. Additionally, Section 144 has been imposed in Delhi, and the Haryana government has closed its borders with Punjab.

Amidst these developments, videos circulating on social media depict the vehicles owned by protesting farmers, along with eyebrow-raising modifications made to tractors. However, it's important to note that the authenticity and timeline of these videos cannot be independently verified by Asianet Newsable.
The police will not attack them. Like last time.
But look at preparations. Are they poor farmers or they are preparing for violence ?
