Rahul Gandhi, Kejriwal to meet agitating TN farmers at Jantar Mantar
Vice President of Congress, Rahul Gandhi is expected to meet agitating farmers at Jantar Mantar on Thursday. AAP chief and Delhi Chief Miniter Arvind Kejriwal is also expected to meet the farmers after his party's in-charge in Tamil Nadu, Somnath Bharati met the protesters on March 28. Scores of politicians have met the farmers protesting for close to three weeks at Jantar Mantar over loan waiver and drought relief.

Close to 3000 farmers from various parts of Tamil Nadu are headed to Delhi to join the agitation. Meanwhile, protests were also witnessed in Tamil Nadu with students attempting to gather at Marina beach in Chennai to recreate the Jallikattu protest-like situation. With the police attempting to arrest protesters in Chennai, the farmers at Jantar Mantar threatened to self-immolate if students were arrested.
A host of celebrities and politicians have met the agitating farmers so far including union ministers Uma Bharati and Arun Jaitley. Cutting across party lines, politicians from Tamil Nadu have been visiting the farmers asking them to give up protests. Farmers have been resorting to novel ways of protests from going on fasts, sporting black bands, displaying rat and snake meat protest to mock funeral and suicide agitation.
While close to 100 MPs have met the farmers already, no assurance has come from the centre on the possibility of waiving off loans from nationalised banks. Yogendra Yadav, who met the farmers on Wednesday said that his party, Swaraj India would lead a yatra in drought-hit Tamil Nadu to express solidarity with the farmers.
