New Delhi, Nov 19: Following the PM announcement of repealing the three farm laws, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday congratulated farmers adding that the Centre’s move is the victory of every single farmer who fought relentlessly.
My heartfelt congratulations to every single farmer who fought relentlessly and were not fazed by the cruelty with which @BJP4India treated you. This is YOUR VICTORY!
My deepest condolences to everyone who lost their loved ones in this fight.#FarmLaws

“Farmers’ Gandhian protest has shown its real strength, terming the decision a victory of democracy over justice,” said Bhupesh Baghel.
Notably, Banerjee had extended her support to farmers who have been protesting at the borders of Delhi against the Centre’s three farm laws. She had even held a meeting with Bhartiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait in Kolkata earlier this year.
The announcement of the repealing of the three farm laws came on Friday, five months ahead of the crucial elections in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur.
