According to Econmic Times, another farmers faction, Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), also announced plans to escalate their protest against the BJP's Modi government anti-farmers policies.

Bharatiya Kisan Union Punjab former chief minister Amarinder Singh, BJP's Punjab unit chief Sunil Jakhar and senior leader Keval Singh Dhillon are ready to stage outside the homes.

The hindutva party is expecting to get third term in office at times when India's PM has inaugurated the Ram Temple on the site of the Babri mosque violating the basic rights of Muslims, which are the largest minority in India.

Declaring its support for farmers with the "Delhi Chalo March", the union will also protest at hundreds of toll plazas across India. Bharatiya Kisan Union Tractor Rally led by Gurunam Singh Charuni will take out a tractor rally today in solidarity with the Delhi Chalo March.

The Delhi Chalo March, which started on Tuesday, has been stopped for the fifth day by the security personals in the border areas of Shambhu and Khanuri

Despite the heavy-handed tactics of the Modi government, it has been announced that the march will continue until the demands of the farmers are accepted.
