BJP claims to have reached twenty-five lakh families
Kolkata: Krishak Soho Bhoj , a major outreach programme, is being organized by Bharatiya Janata Party s Kisan Morcha on February 18. This comes ahead of West Bengal assembly elections.
In their bid to reach out to farmers, 40,000 villages have been roped under Krishak Surakkha Abhiyan .
Initially, Soho Bhoj aimed at gram panchayats, but after its success, mandals are also being considered.
In Soho Bhoj, farmers families come together, cook ek muthi chal (a fistful of uncooked rice), and sit together for a meal.
BJP s Kisan Morcha president, Mahadev Sarkar, said, Our aim is to avail the farmers of all benefits being planned by the Centre.
