Rastriya lok Dal leaders and party workers will launch a state wide dharna at district level party offices including party headquarters in lucknow on March 31 for safeguarding the rights of farmers and youths of the state.
Giving the information, RlD president (UP unit) Munna Singh Chauhan said farmers were ending their lives in depression after they lost their crops due to untimely rain in the state. “The state government has claimed that a total of 25 farmers died between February 27 and March 15 but they did not commit suicide. The state government seemed jaundiced about the woes of the farmers,’ Chauhan said.
He lambasted the state government saying the government cheated the cane growers conniving with the sugar cane mill owners. “As if it was not enough, the central government planned to grab their land by bringing fort the land amendment bill. The farmers are passing through hardship,’ he said.
Demanding CBI to probe the anomalies in the police recruitment, the leader said the state government was differentiating the youths who are the future of the state. “Thirty thousand out of the total 55,000 candidates in the exam are from Etawah, Mainpuri and Kannauj districts. Despite restriction, the candidates used whitener in the OMR sheet and it seemed that they changed the answers to the question,” he alleged. He said the RlD will not let the state government to work on it whims and fancy and will strongly fight for the rights of farmers and youths.
