With thousands of farmers and farm workers in attendance, a call for a "country-wide protest against the BJP" was made at the Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat held in Delhi Thursday. A resolution was also passed to observe March 23 as "save democracy from the threat of money and muscle power day" in all villages.

The gathering was organised at Ramlila Maidan, amid heavy police deployment, by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM).

The 'sankalp patra' or letter of resolution adopted at the mahapanchayat by the SKM called for protests against the BJP across the country, under the banner of a "united peoples' movement" against the "corporate, communal, dictatorial regime", as well as observing March 23 as "save democracy from the threat of money and muscle power day" in all villages to protest the BJP having fielded Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni from Lakhimpur Kheri for the Lok Sabha polls, as reported by IndianExpress.

In October 2021, four farmers were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri after a convoy of three SUVs, including one owned by Teni, hit a group of people protesting against the now-repealed Centre's farm laws. Mishra's son, Ashish, was allegedly driving one of the SUVs.

At the mahapanchayat, farmers pointed out that their reasons for protesting in 2020-21 had not been addressed yet, with a Minimum Support Price (MSP) guarantee and loan waiver for farmers yet to be ensured.
