Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait, along with a few supporters, was seen sitting on a waterlogged road at Ghazipur border amid record rain in Delhi on Saturday.

Heavy rain brought life to a standstill in Delhi-NCR on Saturday. But for farmers protesting on the outskirts of the national capital, it was business as usual. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait was seen sitting on a waterlogged road at the Ghazipur site of the farmers’ agitation. Farmers have been staging a months-long sit-in protest at Delhi’s Ghazipur border, demanding a rollback of the Centre’s three agricultural laws.
