Why are farmers holding off on the 'Delhi Chalo' march until February 29

Farmers have decided to stay at Punjab-Haryana borders until the specified date.
  • The farmers have decided to postpone the 'Delhi Chalo' march until February 29 to observe the promises made by the government during their talks.
  • They want to give the government time to fulfill their demands, such as repealing the new farm laws, legalizing Minimum Support Price (MSP), and withdrawing the Electricity Amendment Bill.
  • Postponing the march also allows the farmers to strategize and regroup, ensuring a stronger and more organized protest when they eventually march to Delhi.
  • The decision to wait until February 29 also gives them more time to garner widespread support from the public and various stakeholders.
  • Staying at the Punjab-Haryana borders indicates their commitment to continuing the protest and maintaining pressure on the government until their demands are met.
