 Mr. Rathore directly blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for these killing of farmers.
 He said that the minister’s son involved in this massacre had made a public threat to crush this movement a few days ago, but at that time the administration did not take any action against him.
