The All India Kisan Sabha(AIKS)-led Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has announced that it would lead yet another nationwide agitation from June for tenant farmers’ rights and to sensitise them on the need for raising their voice for implementing the minimum support price (MSP), seeking loan waiver and State/Central government procuring the produce.
Addressing a seminar on “Agricultural crisis-farmers’ movements” here in Anantapur on Sunday, AIKS national president Ashok Dhawale said that an action plan would be prepared during the next meeting of the SKM this month.
Listing out the organisation’s demands, he said focus should be on seeking minimum support price for all produce at 1.5 times the production cost, loan waiver, rollback of diesel, petrol prices, comprehensive crop insurance, agriculture credit at 0% interest, involvement of agriculture labourers in MGNREGS works and guarantee 200 days of work.
