Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait is scheduled to address a ‘Mahapanchayat’ in Dadri’s Charkhi village on February 7, said Sombir Sangwan, the Sangwan Khap chief.
On Wednesday, Tikait received massive response at 1st mahapanchayat meeting held in Jind’s Kandela village.
Sangwan, who is an independent MLA from Haryana’s Dadri said, “We have called a meeting of all Khaps of the region at Kitlana toll plaza in Bhiwani to discuss the strategy related to mahapanchayat. The agitation has picked up pace in the district and we are expecting a larger crowd than the Jind’s meeting here.”
The three Khaps of Dadri district — Sangwan, Phogat and Sheoran — have socially boycotted Haryana deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala, Bhiwani-Mahendergarh MP Dharambir Singh and former Dadri MLA Rajdeep Phogat.
Experts mentioned that Tikait’s resolution to address mahapanchayats in areas dominated by the Jat neighborhood will ship a sign to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-JJP alliance in the state.
Rajendra Sharma, professor of political science at Maharshi Dayanand University, mentioned, “The Kandela rally has sent out a loud and clear signal to the ruling BJP-JJP coalition government about the unrest among the Jats, the dominating farming community of Haryana.”
Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli district, officers denied the protesting farmers to maintain a mahapanchayat in the district on Friday. The administration has additionally banned giant gatherings until April 3.
