Two years after they had called off their massive protest, farmers affiliated with more than 200 unions once again hit the streets<\/a> in Delhi on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, in a march spearheaded by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha seeking a legal guarantee of MSP and the implementation of the Swaminathan formula, among other demands.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop,\u00a0an image has started doing the rounds on social media in which some Sikh men can be seen sitting in front of or on top of a jeep with a Mercedes Benz logo. Claiming that the vehicle costs around Rs 3 crore, social media users have started raising questions about the economic condition of the protesting farmers.<\/p>\n

BJP worker Priti Gandhi,<\/a> while sharing this picture, sarcastically claimed that ‘poor’ farmers were sitting on a Mercedes worth Rs 3 crore. The readers should note that false and misleading claims<\/a> made by this user have been debunked several times in the past by Alt News.<\/p>\n

Several other users have shared the photo and made different claims about the price of the vehicles, ranging from Rs 2.5 crores to Rs 4 crores. All these posts have targeted the farmers.<\/p>\n
