A group of young representatives of the farmers’ movement on Delhi’s borders visited a village in Murshidabad on Friday to urge voters to defeat the BJP in the state polls.
The Narendra Modi regime’s “apathy” towards the long-standing protest is an insult to the entire farming community, the group told villagers at Mahalandi, around 20km from Kandi town.
Murshidabad votes in the last two phases of elections on April 26 and 29.
The six-member team reached Calcutta on March 31 to take part in the “No Vote to BJP” campaign and mobilise support for the protests against the farm laws.
The team has campaigned in Hooghly and Nadia. They have also visited places like Dunlop, Bhowanipore and Belghoria that have a sizeable Sikh community, which has been at the forefront of the campaign in Bengal in support of farmers.
