One of the youths participating in the protest said they first educated themselves about the issues faced by the farmers before deciding to join the agitation. "We learned about what is happening with them, and then we came here with our group to support them," the youth said.
They added that they stand with the farmers and plan to bring more people to the protest. "We fully support them, and we will invite more people to join us," they said.
The protest, which began as the Kisan Kranti Yatra from Narmadapuram and nearby districts, reached Bhopal after farmers marched nearly 70 km to press their demands.
Police stopped the march near Savarkar Setu with barricades, following which thousands of farmers stayed on the road and continued their protest.
As the protest continued, many students and young citizens joined the gathering, raising slogans in support of the farmers. Protesters said the youth wanted to stand with farmers as agriculture remains the backbone of the state's economy.
