Bhubaneswar: The Congress should give moral support to the Peasant Movement for the repeal of the three Arts and Agriculture Laws enacted by the Central Government and immediately repeal it. Dhenkanal District Kisan Congress President Biprabar Sahu presided over a rally at Ramakrishnapur near Bhubaneswar in Dhenkanal district today under the call of the PCC Kisan Congress against the central BJP and state BJD government's policy of killing farmers.
The farmer Mahapanchayat was made the secretary of the All India Congress Committee and in-charge of Odisha. Rudra Raju inaugurated the event as the chief guest and said that in the coming days, farmers' mahapan panchayats would be held at all district levels in the state and there would be strong protests against agriculture and farmers of both the BJP and BJD governments. Today, the Narendra Modi government continues to deceive the country's food donors.
"It simply came to our notice then. This government is not in the interest of the farmers but in the interests of the capitalists. A blazing example of this has been in the cold for four days, with farmers' unions demanding the repeal of the Black Agriculture Act, but it is unfortunate that the government has turned a blind eye to it.
Odisha Pradesh Kisan Congress president Shri Amiya Patnaik attended the function and criticized the central government for not having a reasoned discussion with the farmers' organization about the new agricultural policy. The Prime Minister himself has questioned where the increase in the price of agricultural products has doubled on the basis of Swaminathan’s recommendations in the two general elections.
The state government has demanded the repeal of the law, the provision of legal guarantees to the MSP and the purchase of all surpluses by the farmers without the adoption of a two-pronged policy and a bonus of Rs 500 per MSP per quintal of paddy. PCC vice-president Shuvendu Mohanty, Dhenkanal district Congress president Saroj Patnaik, state Kisan Congress vice-president Umesh Sahu and senior Congress leaders from various blocs addressed the gathering.
