Since Nov 26, 2020, thousands of farmers have gathered at the border of Delhi protesting against the three new farm laws which were enacted by the Centre through an Ordinance and later controversially passed by Parliament.
This was Kumar's first meeting with PM Modi after his government assumed power in Bihar in November last year.
