Here is who said what:
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal: This day will be written in golden letters in India’s history like Independence Day, Republic Day. It’s the victory of democracy, not just farmers’. Govt made all efforts to disrupt anti-farm laws protest, called them Khalistani, terrorists, but farmers’ didn’t give up. Farmers proved that the Centre eventually will have to listen to the people. Water cannons, lathis dried up and nails melted against farmer’s determination. Govt made all efforts to disrupt the protest but farmers’ didn’t give up & fought well.
Chhattisgarh CM: Farmers won & Modi’s arrogance lost. It’s the victory of farmers who were protesting for over a yr while being called terrorists,China-Pak supporters. What did BJP not call them? In the end, it had to bow down. Modi ji & BJP should apologise to the nation&farmers
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan: The repealing of 3 Farm Laws is the victory of the legendary farmer’s strike. Indian farmers have written a great page in the history of class struggle for an egalitarian world. Greetings to farmers who fought tirelessly overcoming several challenges.
CM Charanjit Singh Channi: Decision to repeal ‘black’ farm laws is victory of longest peaceful people’s struggle by farmers in Punjab.
Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot: Farmers’ efforts have paid off. Given the circumstances in country, PM was forced to withdraw 3 farm laws, Today’s decision was in view of UP elections. PM & BJP putting in all efforts to win polls…You never know if they get a shock like West Bengal:
SAD supremo Parkash Singh Badal: Historic victory of farmers on Gurupurab, defining moment in history.

Haryana Dy CM : We welcome Centre’s decision to repeal the Farm Laws on the occasion of Guru Parv. This is a commendable step for the reinstatement of peace & harmony in society. I appeal to all farmer orgs to end their protest. We’ll continue to make effort for farmers’ welfare.
Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik: Welcome PM Narendra Modi’s decision to repeal all 3 Farm Laws, in the best interests of the country and its farmers. Your farms and families have been waiting for long and they will be happy to welcome you back. BJD continues to stand with the farmers.
BSP chief Mayawati: Farmers’ sacrifice has paid off. The decision to repeal 3 farm laws should have been taken much before. Still, farmers’ demand for a law on MSP is pending. BSP demands that in the upcoming Parliament session the Centre should bring a law in this regard(on MSP).
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal: I congratulate all farmers in the country. Their agitation yielded results. Had this been done sooner lives of 700 farmers could’ve been saved. Still, this is big. Perhaps for the 1st time in India’s history, Govt is taking back 3 laws due to an agitation.
Bhanu Pratap Singh, BKU-BHANU President: I welcome this move. Due to anti-farm policies for 75 years, farmers died due to debts. I urge PM Modi to form a farm committee and let it decide crop rates. Farmers’ loans should be waived off in a day through an announcement like today’s.
Samyukta Kisan Morcha: We welcome PM Narendra Modi’s decision to repeal all 3 anti-farmer laws; will wait for the announcement to take effect through due parliamentary procedures. If this happens, it will be a historic victory of the one year long farmers’ struggle in India.
Here is what Akhilesh Yadav said:
अमीरों की भाजपा ने भूमिअधिग्रहण व काले क़ानूनों से ग़रीबों-किसानों को ठगना चाहा। कील लगाई, बाल खींचते कार्टून बनाए, जीप चढ़ाई लेकिन सपा की पूर्वांचल की विजय यात्रा के जन समर्थन से डरकर काले-क़ानून वापस ले ही लिए।
भाजपा बताए सैंकड़ों किसानों की मौत के दोषियों को सज़ा कब मिलेगी।

It’s farmers’ victory, who have been protesting against farm laws for so many days; over 700 died. Seems like Centre is guilty… But who’ll take responsiblity for the hardships that farmers had to go through?

Had this decision been taken earlier so many farmers wouldn’t have died. Govt should’ve initiated dialogues earlier but that didn’t happen, farmers were not heard. They had to sit down on streets. They got their demand fulfilled today. It’s their victory: Maharashtra HM DW Patil pic.twitter.com/Q8oybse4Ka
