Tikait has declared that a memorandum outlining crucial demands of the farmers will be submitted to both the state and central governments.

"The key issues of the farmers are MSP guarantee, the electricity amendment bill and the implementation of Swaminathan committee report. If there is no guarantee on MSP, farmers of the whole country will face problems,"

Tikait said.

Highlighting the need for the MSP, Tikait strongly advocated for the exclusion of private players in the agricultural sector.
