  • | Sunday | 23rd September, 2018

Haridwar: The Bhartiya Kisan Union (Tikait group) on Sunday flagged off their Kisan Kranti Yatra from Haridwar against the PM Narendra Modi-led NDA government for what they claimed was “the government’s failure to protect farmers’ interests.”Thousands of farmers from across the country took part in the march that is slated to reach Delhi on October 2.Kisan Union’s spokesperson Chaudhary Rakesh Singh Tikait addressed the farmers before flagging off the march. Due to the government’s pro-industry policies, farmers are facing huge losses and hence committing suicides when under debt. “The Modi-led BJP government did nothing for farmers in the past four years. The government has forced us to take out this march,” Tikait said. We demanded a policy for agriculture but the government is not interested in our cause.
