Malik further warned the BJP that it will “not return to power” unless it listens to the farmers. 

“The government will not come back to power if it does not listen to farmers,” Meghalaya Governor Satyapal Malik said. 

He added: “There is only one thing which will solve the entire issue. If the government agrees to give the MSP guarantee, I will mediate and convince the farmers.” 

Meghalaya Governor Satyapal Malik had openly supported the farmers agitation in March this year. 

“I have fought with the Prime Minister and the home minister for the farmers,” Malik further said.
