3 Farm laws repealed: Political reactions from Rahul Gandhi to Mamata Banerjee
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s big announcement about rolling back the three controversial farm laws were welcomed by all, from party members to the opposition on Friday, 19th November. Congress dubbed the move a win for the farmers.
Haryana minister Anil Vij was one of the first to commend the move. “All farmer organizations should express their gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and immediately lift their dharna and go to their homes and start their regular work,” he tweeted.
प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी की गुरु नानक देव जी के प्रकाश उत्सव पर तीनों कृषि कानूनों को वापस लेने की घोषणा पर सभी किसान संगठनों को प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी का आभार प्रकट करना चाहिए और अपने धरने तुरंत उठाकर अपने अपने घरों को जाकर अपने नियमित कामों में लगना चाहिए ।

My heartfelt congratulations to every single farmer who fought relentlessly and were not fazed by the cruelty with which @BJP4India treated you. This is YOUR VICTORY!

My deepest condolences to everyone who lost their loved ones in this fight.#FarmLaws
A step in the right direction, says Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Repealing of black laws a step in the right direction …. Satyagrah of Kisan morcha gets historic success…. You’re sacrifice has paid dividends…. Revival of farming in Punjab through a road map should be the top priority for the Pb govt ….accolades

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also came out and stated the coming generations will never forget the sacrifice of farmers.
आज प्रकाश दिवस के दिन कितनी बड़ी ख़ुशख़बरी मिली। तीनों क़ानून रद्द। 700 से ज़्यादा किसान शहीद हो गए। उनकी शहादत अमर रहेगी। आने वाली पीढ़ियाँ याद रखेंगी कि किस तरह इस देश के किसानों ने अपनी जान की बाज़ी लगाकर किसानी और किसानों को बचाया था। मेरे देश के किसानों को मेरा नमन

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi put out an old video in which he said the Government will be forced to roll back the three contentious agri laws. He said, "Arrogance bowed down to the Satyagraha of farmers."
देश के अन्नदाता ने सत्याग्रह से अहंकार का सर झुका दिया।

जय हिंद, जय हिंद का किसान!#FarmersProtest https://t.co/enrWm6f3Sq
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra also came out and called the Prime Minister's decision, "Just the beginning of many more victories for people’s voices."
Whether it was fear of losing UP or finally facing up to conscience @BJP govt rolls back farm laws.

Just the beginning of many more victories for people’s voices.
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said: "Sometimes a brute majority isn’t enough."
Sometimes a brute majority isn’t enough. Democracy isn’t just about winning elections every five years. It is about respecting the people between elections. A lesson learned seven years too late by our feckless government. https://t.co/kM9Zkn6jEI

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in a sequence of tweet stated that the decision was taken in view of the upcoming polls.
600 से अधिक किसानों की शहादत
— Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) November 19, 2021
350 से अधिक दिन का संघर्ष, @narendramodi जी आपके मंत्री के बेटे ने किसानों को कुचल कर मार डाला, आपको कोई परवाह नहीं थी।
आपकी पार्टी के नेताओं ने किसानों का अपमान करते हुए उन्हें आतंकवादी, देशद्रोही, गुंडे, उपद्रवी कहा, आपने खुद आंदोलनजीवी बोला..1/3
Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav put out a tweet saying: “BJP that works for the rich wanted to cheat the poor farmers with land acquisition and black laws."
अमीरों की भाजपा ने भूमिअधिग्रहण व काले क़ानूनों से ग़रीबों-किसानों को ठगना चाहा। कील लगाई, बाल खींचते कार्टून बनाए, जीप चढ़ाई लेकिन सपा की पूर्वांचल की विजय यात्रा के जन समर्थन से डरकर काले-क़ानून वापस ले ही लिए।
— Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) November 19, 2021
भाजपा बताए सैंकड़ों किसानों की मौत के दोषियों को सज़ा कब मिलेगी।
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath welcomed the decision.
