Farmers are in my middle: Rawat invokes Hanuman

Amid the farm agitation, Uttarakhand Leader Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat Saturday attempted to reassure farmers in his state by way of invoking Lord Hanuman.

“Regardless of what is occurring within the identify of farmers’ motion, we’re delicate about farmers. If I have been Hanuman, I’d have torn open my chest to turn how I think about them,” he mentioned in Dehradun after distributing interest-free mortgage cheques amongst farmers. Cheque distribution programmes have been held at 101 puts in Uttarakhand. Over 25,000 farmers won cheques, mentioned officers.
