BJP stages sit-in against ‘atrocity’ on farmers

Sunday, 23 February 2020 | Staff Reporter | RAIPUR

nBharatiya Janata Party on Saturday staged a sin-in at all the district headquarters of the state to protest the alleged ‘anti farmers policy’ of the Congress-led government and ‘atrocities’ on farmers.

The agitation in state capital Raipur was led by Lok Sabha member from Raipur Sunil Soni while State BJP president Vikram Usendi and Rajya Sabha MP Saroj Pandey led the agitation in Balod and Durg district headquarters respectively.

Usendi in a statement later said the Congress government in the state which gained power on farmers’ mercy had now adopted oppressive policy and using lathi-charge on them. The police brutality on them would not be tolerated and the BJP stands firmly behind them, he said.

Usendi further claimed that never during the 15 years’ regime of the BJP government the farmers launched any agitation or had any complaint. 

The BJP leader further demanded of the state        government to procure each and every grain of paddy  produced by the farmers by extending the last date of procurement and fulfil the promises made to the farmers.

Usendi further warned of scaling up the agitation in future if their demand of extension of procurement date is not met.
