On Friday, the Congress party reaffirmed its support for farmers' demands, noting that their protests have received significant encouragement from Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.
This assertion by the opposition party precedes a scheduled march of farmers to Delhi from their protest location at the Punjab and Haryana border.
The Vice President's recent comments at an ICAR-CIRCOT event in Mumbai have further fueled the farmers' movements. He questioned the fulfillment of promises made to farmers, focusing on legal guarantees for MSP, among other issues.
