BJP Krushak Morcha to stage dharna on Aug 8 in State


BHUBANESWAR: The BJP Krushak Morcha State unit would stage dharnas in front of the district Collectors offices on August 8 throughout the State to support its Central Committee’s nationwide agitation demanding better policies for the farmers to bring agriculture out of crisis.

Similarly, the Morcha’s Central Committee will stage dharna against the alleged anti-farmer policies of the Government at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on August 20. It was decided by the Morcha’s national president OP Dhankar at the end of the two-day national executive meet at Chandigarh held on July 21 and 22 where a seven-member delegation led by Morcha’s State president Maheswar Sahu were present.

The members of the Morcha said the UPA Government failed to address the farmer issues. In view of the deficit monsoon, the Centre should announce compensation and declare drought as national calamity and demanded immediate initiatives to bring agriculture out of crisis, they added.
