Farmers organisations start protest against BJP in the 5 polling states
March 13, 2021
The farmers organisations, under the banner of Samyukt Kisan Morcha, started campaigns against the BJP in the five States that are going to hold polls soon. Senior leader of the farmers Rakesh Tikait attended rallies, roadshows, and mahapanchayats at various points, including Nandigram, in West Bengal. He said he will also visit Singur during the campaigns.
Meanwhile, the SKM issued an open appeal to the voters in Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal and urged them “to teach a good lesson to power-hungry, anti-farmer BJP”. “BJP should learn a lesson that it is not wise to pit itself against farmers of India. If you manage to teach them this lesson, the arrogance of the party can be broken, and we can get the demands of the ongoing farmers movement fulfilled,” the SKM’s appeal said.
