Kolkata: BJP on Sunday said it would launch a sit-in three days from December 14 at Singur in Hooghly District of West Bengal to pressure seven points of farmer demand, including finding minimum support prices for their products and.
PPN reduction on fuel.
BJP spokesman Samik Bhattacharya said Singur was chosen as a place, because it was a place where Minister of Mamata Banerjee, then the opposition leader has launched an anti-land release movement 14 years ago against a small car project setting.
“But, now he has forgotten about farmers after power, and there has been no industrial growth in the state during his term,” he said.
Suspecting that the police did not allow BJP Kisan Morcha to regulate the podium and move the poster to support the demonstration, Bhattacharya said the Safron Party would intensify protests and continue scheduled programs.
“Our demands include the elimination of medium men and reasonable prices for farmer products, in addition to lowering power tariffs,” he said.
The charter charter also mentions the package for farmers who suffer large losses in perionistic rain and make the functional ‘mandic mandic’ in various blocks.
Bhattacharya said two potato farmers “died by suicide in the state after increasing losses and RS 20 lakh must be given as compensation for their relatives”.
The opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari has on Saturday met the Governor of Jagdeep Dhankhar along with several members of Morcha Kisan and submitted a list of demands to him.
