Yatra Against Land Pooling: Sharpening its ongoing battle against the anti-farmer Land Pooling Scheme introduced by the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Punjab today announced a state-wide yatra titled “Save Land, Save Farmers”, to be held from August 17 to September 5, 2025, under the leadership of BJP’s State Working President Shri Ashwani Sharma.

This announcement was made by BJP’s state Vice President Kewal Singh Dhillon during a press conference held today at the BJP Punjab headquarters. He was accompanied by State General Secretaries Anil Sareen, Rakesh Rathore, Dayal Singh Sodhi, party spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal, and State Media Head Vineet Joshi.

Dhillon stated that during this yatra, BJP Punjab will go village-to-village creating awareness among farmers against this scheme and mobilize them. It will meet the farmers who are already aware and struggling, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder, will support them.”

The yatra will kick off on August 17 from Patiala, and pass through villages in Malwa, Majha, and Doaba regions affected by the land pooling plan, culminating in Pathankot on September 5.

BJP leaders condemned the Bhagwant Mann government, saying it has launched a serious assault on the land of farmers. Through the land pooling scheme, the government seeks to hand over farmers’ land to land mafias through backdoor means – which is completely unacceptable.

They stated, “BJP stands like a rock with the farmers.” Until the AAP government withdraws the land pooling policy, the BJP will continue to fight at all levels in solidarity with the farmers.
