(BKU) supremo

Rakesh Tikait

addressed yet another Kisan

Mahapanchayat

, this time in Sehora town near Jabalpur on Monday.


Protesting against the three new agriculture laws, it was the third anti- agri laws gathering in Madhya Pradesh in the last 10 days.

The other two were held at Sheopur, the parliamentary area of the Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Rewa in Vindhya Pradesh.

At all three places, a large number of farmers attended the events discomforting the

state government

, said Anil Yadav, state general secretary of the BKU in MP.

On Monday, Rakesh Tikait said, “ there is no government in India.
Corporates are running the show. Over five lakh farmers have been sitting on agitation for the last many months but there is no one to take cognizance of the situation.” He said that there was an unannounced ban on the media to show the agitation.

Tikait said that the state government in MP also makes huge claims and said there was no agitation among the farmers in the state.

He then points out at the huge crowd under the shamiyana braving the heat and said, “ they have shown that the government has been lying”.

The BKU alleged that a night before the Mahapanchayat,” BJP goons threatened the organizations and vandalized the venue”
