After his visit to Bengal, the BKU leader says that he plans to travel to more states.
The national spokesperson of the organization, Rakesh Tikait, said that the agitation against the three Central Agricultural Laws led by the Bharatiya Kisan Union could continue till December this year.
Mr. Tikait made a statement while speaking to reporters in Allahabad recently after his visit to electoral West Bengal.
“This movement will probably increase until November or December of this year,” he said.
Talking about his West Bengal tour, Mr. Tikait said that during the election campaign there, the people of the central government are asking the farmers to give him a rice feast.
“I have advised the farmers of Bengal to give grain seekers a grain of rice before fixing the MSP of ₹ 1,850 per quintal for paddy,” Mr. Tikait told reporters.
He said that after Bengal, he was planning to visit other parts of the country to implement the law guaranteeing MSP for various crops.
“In Bihar, paddy is currently being bought by traders at a rate of less than 750 to pad 800 per quintal. I want a law to guarantee the minimum support price for different crops, ”said Mr. Tikait.
He said that he would not sit in Delhi alone, but was planning to roam the entire country including Madhya Pradesh on 14 March and 15 March, Ganga Nagar in Rajasthan on 17 March, UP Gate border of Ghazipur on 18 March in Delhi, Odisha Ki 19 and Karnataka on 21 and 22 March.
During his visit in Allahabad, Mr. Tikait also installed a statue of his late father and farmer leader Mahendra Singh Tikait at Tikait Park in Jhalwa.
A BKU spokesman claimed that the three central laws would lead to the closure of all small-time neighborhood shops, making only large commercial malls to survive.
“These agricultural laws will ruin traders and stop the collapse of small business utilities and small industries. These laws will bring in large multinationals like Walmart, ”claimed Mr. Tikait.
Mr. Tikait said, “Had this government been of any political party, it would have talked to the farmers and settled the matter.”
“But this government is run by big business houses. It is bent on selling the entire country.
