West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday assured farmer leaders led by Rakesh Tikait and Yudhvir Singh of support to their agitation against the new agriculture laws. At a meeting with the farmer leaders here during the day, the TMC chief said that there should be a platform where states could converse on policy issues. Bulldozing states is not good for the federal structure, she said. Banerjee s support for the north India-based farmers unions comes within days of the Trinamool Congress announcing that the party would spread its footprints outside West Bengal s geographical boundaries. The Bhartiya Kisan Union led by Tikait and Singh had supported the No vote for BJP campaign ahead of the West Bengal assembly elections and have plans to extend that in other upcoming state elections as well.
