On the other side, the BJP has kicked off bike rallies with slogans against strike observation in Tripura and BJP backed motor units ran vehicles but numbers of passengers had been lacking in those vehicles. Farmers have been protesting the three contentious farm laws - Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020 - enacted by the Centre during the monsoon session of Parliament.
