Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister and Congress leader Sachin Pilot said on Tuesday while the BJP government has promised to double farmers’ income, the saffron party is ”standing against” the tillers in a time of crisis.
He reiterated the demand of withdrawal of the Centre’s three contentious farm laws, saying the Congress is in support of the farmers.
He also slammed the mushrooming of a new breed of “andolan-jivi” professional protesters who can be seen at every agitation. These “parasites feast on every agitation.”
A full repeal of three central farm acts and enacting a legislation for remunerative MSP for all farmers were reiterated as the pending demands of the movement in a full general body meeting of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha.
