Ghaziabad: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) on Thursday announced it will start a district level meeting at Uttar Pradesh from August to highlight the problem of farmers and other problems in this country.
The campaign focus is to mark high power rates and wait for sugar cane contributions in the condition of Yogi Adityanath.
BKU has protested under Samyukta banner Kisan Morcha on a new agricultural law in Ghazipur on the Border of Delhi-Uttar Pradesh since November 2020.
National Spokesman BKU, Rakesh Tikait said his major-level committee (zonal-level) Farmers are scheduled for July 11 to discuss the strategy for the campaign.
“The campaign will start from August 1 in each district spread in 18 mandal countries,” said Tikait at a press conference on the Ghazipur border.
August 1 and so on Mandal Committees will work in every regional district to highlight the problems of three agricultural laws and whatever happens in the state and other countries, he said.
“During such awareness, a special focus will be placed with high electricity prices in Uttar Pradesh and Sugarcane contributions for farmers,” he said.
BKU claims that Rs 8,500 Crore at sugar cane contributions is waiting for farmers in the state.
It also claims that 1 kilo watt power, which costs Rs 35 in Haryana, is charged to RS 175 above even when the two countries have the BJP government.
BKU claims that Uttar Pradesh farmers, especially those who move in sugar cane, potatoes and wheat, are on the verge of collapse.
“Our program is that our people will go to village to villages in each district and hold meetings to highlight these problems including such a health and education situation,” said Tikait.
“All through this process, protests at the border (Ghazipur) will continue so and we will follow the call of Samyukta Kisan Morcha too,” he added.
