Farmers unions will organise a series of protests by joining hands with unemployed youth who are upset with Agnipath recruitment scheme, ahead of the Independence day, announced Samyuktha Kisan Morcha(SKM) Prakasam district convenor Ch Ranga Rao.
“We will hoist the national flag on top of our houses raising Jai Jawan Jai Kisan slogan as the Narendra Modi government dashed the hopes of unemployed youth as well as farmers,” Mr. Ranga Rao said. A large number of youth from the district, especially from western parts, join the armed forces every year. Many of them stand to lose, following introduction of the new recruitment scheme, he explained.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led government at the Centre failed to fulfil its promise on formation of the committee on minimum support price, he told the media here on Monday.
