Farmer leaders, civil rights activists campaign against BJP -Shiv Sahay Singh

-The Hindu

Ask BJP leaders to withdraw the three farm Bills, say Rakesh Tikait and Medha Patkar.

Secular and pro-farmer votes in West Bengal should not get split, leaders of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha and civil rights activists who have been campaigning in the State for the past three days, said on Sunday. Rakesh Tikait of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) and social activist Medha Patkar campaigned in Nandigram, Singur and Kolkata and urged people not to vote for the BJP.

“In Delhi, the government is not talking to us. In Bengal, the same people are going door to door asking for votes. What we are telling the people and farmers is they should ask the BJP leaders to withdraw the three Bills and bring a law giving guarantee on the minimum support price,” Rajesh Tikait, who had held protests at Nandigram and Kolkata, told The Hindu. Referring to the BJP’s farmers’ outreach programme where the party leaders are visiting farm households and collecting handful of food grains, Mr. Tikait said: “Those who are collecting foodgrains should ensure minimum support price for them.”
