The MLAs accused the government of following anti-farmer policies and demanded action to address the problems faced by farmers in the state.

'Country needs new educaion policy'

During the protest, Congress MLA Jaivardhan Singh said, "We are demanding that government examinations should be conducted properly, and we are also demanding the resignation of the country's Education Minister. After the NEET paper leak scam, if the country needs anything today, it is a new education policy."

"When BJP leaders and the Chief Minister are talking about the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), my advice to them is that first implement a Uniform Education Code, so that every educated youth in the state and the country can get quality education and all government examinations are conducted in a fair and transparent manner," he added.

'Equality must exists first'

On the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), Congress MLA Phoolsingh Bariya said, "Look, if the UCC comes, then in my view it should be brought for the citizens of a country where political equality, social equality and economic equality already exist. When such equality exists, then the UCC can be implemented."

He added, "But when this equality does not exist, you are diverting the issue by saying that we will recognise live-in relationships or decide what kind of marriages will be recognised. That is not what it means. It means that when every citizen of India becomes equal politically, socially and economically, and such equality is established through law and implemented in practice, only then can we truly provide citizens with equal rights."
