Farmers under the banner of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Tuesday launched a campaign christened ‘Awake Bharat, Defeat Modi‘ campaign ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Paying tributes to farmers who were mowed down during a protest in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh on October 3, 2021, they set the ‘farmers’ agenda‘ for the Parliamentary elections — which they said was fulfilment of the promises made by the Centre to farmers at the time of repealing the three controversial farm laws.
