The next stop of the agitating farmers will be Uttar Pradesh. The most populous state of the country will go for Assembly Election next year. The farmers plan to create pressure on the BJP ahead of the elections in an attempt to isolate the party. Prem Singh Bhangu, a farmer leader present on the Singhu border, told news agency ANI, “Our UP mission will start from September 5. We will completely isolate the BJP. There is no option but to withdraw the three agricultural laws.”
