Mr. Kejriwal, who had visited Singhu for the first time on the Delhi-Haryana border on December 7, was accompanied by his deputy Manish Sisodia.
“Farmers are protesting for their survival. These laws will take away their land. I call on the Center to please repeal the three agricultural laws,” he said.
Mr. Sisodia told the protesting farmers: “We are closely watching all the arrangements and making sure that the pain you (the farmers) endure is minimal.”
During his first visit, Mr. Kejriwal had verified the arrangements made for the farmers by the Delhi government.
