KCR urged to lead a nationwide campaign to unite farmers

The meeting of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao with leaders of farmers unions from 26 States on the second day, Sunday, unanimously adopted a resolution urging him to lead a nationwide campaign to unite farmers for struggles right from the village level.

Leaders at the meeting urged Mr. Rao to prepare the blueprint for the struggles taking into consideration the changed agricultural scenario in the country.

Earlier, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao sought democratic agitations and Parliamentary form of struggles like it took place in the Statehood movement of Telangana for resolving the problems of agriculture and farmers in the country. The struggles should reach a stage where people who set up obstacles to agriculture would be forced to raise ‘Jai Kisan’ slogans like those who were opposed to separate State joined the ‘Jai Telangana’ chorus.
