Yogendra Yadav, however, clarified that the morcha has nothing to do with seeking votes for any party in the elections
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has issued an appeal to farmers in Uttar Pradesh to “punish” the BJP in the upcoming Assembly elections for betraying the farmers by not fulfilling their demands, Swaraj India President Yogendra Yadav said on February 3.
Fifty-seven farmer organisations have supported the call given by the SKM, Mr. Yadav said. He, however, clarified that the morcha has nothing to do with seeking votes for any party in the elections.
SKM, that spearheaded the farmers agitation against new agri laws which were later rolled back, said their remaining demands, including setting up of a committee on Minimum Support Price (MSP) and withdrawal of cases against farmers, remain unfulfilled.
