He stated that if the pressing issues facing farmers are not addressed in a timely manner, his organization will field candidates in all assembly constituencies across the state in the 2027 elections.
Singh delivered this warning while addressing a farmer's rally held at Narayan Ashram in Panchal Ghat, Farrukhabad, on Friday. His arrival in Farrukhabad was marked by a grand welcome from party workers, stretching from Baver to the event venue.
