The SFI also criticized the Assam government for not taking any positive step to start vaccination for those in the 18-45 age group from May 1 even as the Centre gave the nod to give 18+ the jab from Saturday.
GUWAHATI: A high-level Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) team headed by Yogendra Yadav said the three controversial farm laws have gone into coma but the death certificate is not being issued, as it has become a prestige issue for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
They gave a clarion call to voters of the election-bound states to vote against BJP, but said the peasant movement won t extend support to selected opposition parties in any of the states.
“They (BJP) only know the satta ki bhasa votes, seats and election results. That s why the farmers movement have decided to inflict vote ki chot on them. We are touring the poll-bound states to mobilize farmers and their sympathizers with the message to reject BJP. Whom to vote is up to voters,” Yadav said, adding that the role of the farmers movement in Delhi will send a clear message to BJP and other political parties on how hurting farmers can cost elections. The team in Assam arrived from West Bengal.
