BATHINDA: The high voter turnout in Punjab’s Malwa region has pepped up the morale of political parties, but has also revealed that people might not have paid much heed to farm organisation BKU (Ekta Ugrahan)’s appeal to stand against electoral politics.
In a massive rally on February 17, the largest farm organisation had not given a call to people to boycott the polls, but all speakers at the gathering had asked people to stand against vote politics and against political parties. It was stated that the people should not believe in electoral politics, but should believe in struggles as all demands of farmers could be met only by struggles. The rally was named Lok Kalyan Rally (public welfare rally).
