New Delhi: The CPI-affiliated All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) today said it will chalk out a strategy "to counter" the BJP in the Gujarat assembly elections next month after holding consultations with farmers in the state.
The farmers organisation, which is organising a five-day dharna in the capital from today against the alleged "anti-farmer" policies of the central government, has vowed to take its struggle across the country and specially in Gujarat to defeat the BJP in the assembly elections, its leaders said.
"We are having a discussion with the farmers in Gujarat. There, the farmers are saying that the BJP has not done anything for them. We will decide our strategy for the elections with them," AIKS general secretary Atul Anjan said.
Hundreds of farmers from all over the country have come to Delhi for the five-day dharna against the Centre, it said.
"Every half an hour one farmer is committing suicide because of growing input cost, depressing marker returns and absence of MSP," the AIKS leader said.
It has also demanded that the government give pension of Rs 10,000 per month to the farmers and artisans who are above sixty.
