A day of celebration!! I think this is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s biggest defeat so far. In school we were told: A bully is also a coward….

Whether it was fear of losing UP or finally facing up to conscience @BJP govt rolls back farm laws.

Just the beginning of many more victories for people’s voices.

So what happens to the right wing eco system that spent the past year calling farmers Khalistanis, terrorists and so on? pic.twitter.com/NL8Jmawdvo

Anyone who believes the government repealed the #FarmLaws out of the goodness of its heart is completely mistaken. This government only responds to cold hard numbers – bypoll setback = fuel price reduction. Poor internal polls numbers for Western UP & Punjab = #Farmlawsrepealed

What cannot be achieved by democratic protests can be achieved by the fear of impending elections!

PM’s announcement on the withdrawal of the three farm laws is not inspired by a change of policy or a change of heart. It is impelled by fear of elections!

This is a wonderful news!
Thank you,@narendramodi ji, @PMOIndia, for taking back the farm laws. Thank you, farmers, for raising just demands through peaceful protests. Hope you will happily return to be with your families on the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji today.

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

The year-long farmers' protest has finally triumphed. Indian farmers have scripted one of the brightest chapters in the history of class struggles. Salutes to the martyrs, farmers and organisations who fought with unmatched resoluteness and undying spirit. #Farmlaws pic.twitter.com/FPVoQzE5Gx
