Farmer unions protesting the Centre바카라s agriculture reform laws are now gearing up to target the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on its turf. The agenda is 바카라Haryana now, Uttar Pradesh later and then spread the agitation across the country바카라.
The platform of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has decided to fight a political war, albeit without donning a colour. The idea is to throw their weight behind a party that may defeat the BJP in a particular constituency.
In the run-up, SKM members will 바카라court arrest바카라 all over Haryana on Monday, June 7, as a mark of protest over the state taking farmers into custody during their agitation.
바카라Let us see if their prisons are big enough to fit us all,바카라 said Abhimanyu Kohar of SKM, adding that 바카라peaceful protests바카라 will be held before police stations from noon to 4 pm on Monday.
바카라But this is just the beginning; the stir will continue,바카라 he promised on a social media post.
For those leading the agitation, it is a thin line to tread 바카라 trying to keep the stir peaceful and also to abide by its commitment of keeping the protests apolitical.
바카라The government wants us to withdraw from the borders of the national capital and confine the protests between Hissar and Jind (in Haryana),바카라 said Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait, addressing supporters at a sit-in demonstration in front of the Tohana City Police Station of Fatehabad district.
The Monday protests are a spillover of the sit-in at Tohana.
Tikait is leading the protest demanding the immediate release of farmers arrested for demonstrations in the area. According to SKM, they were protesting over the inappropriate language used by Tohana MLA Devender Singh Babli.
A five-day stand-off was diffused after the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) MLA apologised to the farmers and stated that he forgives those with whom he had a heated exchange in early June.
바카라Authorities want to break our stir. They want the attention to be diverted from Delhi바카라s borders. That바카라s why the Haryana government is instigating protestors,바카라 claimed Yudhvir Singh, general secretary, BKU.
Once the monsoon gets over, post-July, groups of peasants led by prominent union leaders will travel across Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand where assembly elections are due in 2022.
A similar exercise was undertaken in West Bengal this year, but it was confined to just a couple of constituencies. However, buoyed by the setbacks to BJP in West Bengal assembly elections and later in Uttar Pradesh local body polls, the unions have decided to up the political ante.
바카라The struggle started from Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana and started spreading across the country. Now we바카라ll reach out to all six lakh villages,바카라 said Yudhvir Singh.
The process of 바카라awareness and awaking바카라, he added, will begin in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand once the Covid situation stabilises and the monsoon gets over. 바카라Then we will move towards Madhya Pradesh and the rest of the country,바카라 the BKU leader said.
Meetings are being held separately with representatives from various parts of Uttar Pradesh. According to some leaders, participants from four out of the 18 divisions in UP have already taken part in meetings held over the past few days.
Meanwhile, to maintain a steady headcount at the protest sites at Delhi바카라s borders, a group of farmers is coming from each area to spend a week. Currently, it is the turn of the tillers from Ambala. The next group is expected from Panipat.
Protest over the three farm bills is going on since November 26 mainly at Singhu, Tikri and Ghaziabad borders. Topping the list of their demands are 바카라 complete repeal of the farm laws and legalising minimum support price.
