BKU urges PM to meet farmers at mahapanchayat

Monday, 20 January 2020 | PNS | Lucknow

Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to meet farmers during their mahapanchayat in New Delhi on March 18.

The BKU has already submitted a 14-point charter of demands to the government. The demands include withdrawal of cases against farmers and more facilities to the agriculture sector.

The BKU took several decisions at the three-day ‘chintan’ camp held at the Magh Mela ground in Prayagraj that ended on Saturday.

BKU president Rakesh Tikait said here on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had not met farmers during his six-year tenure. He said it was high time for the prime minister to intervene for the resolution of pending issues of the agriculture sector.

Tikait said the farmers would not wait for indefinite period for the resolution of their grievances.

He warned that if the UP government failed to accept their demands, the farmers would be forced to stage demonstration in Lucknow along with their cattle and enter the state secretariat building.
