‘Why was the promise made to the farmers not kept?’, when the Vice President asked Shivraj Singh on the stage

Vice President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar asked Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan that a promise was made to the farmers, why was that promise not kept? While speaking from the public platform, the Vice President said, "Why are farmers not being talked to? What are we doing to keep the promise?" The Vice President said that this time is painful for him, because last year also there was a farmers’ movement and this year also the voice of the farmers is being raised. He also raised questions on the attitude of the Central Government and said that it would be a mistake to make a limited assessment of this movement.

Jagdeep Dhankhar looked at Shivraj Singh Chauhan from the stage and said in a questioning tone, "I request you, the person holding the second position under the Constitution of India is requesting you, please tell me what was promised to the farmers? What was promised? Why was the promise not kept? What are we doing to keep the promise? There was a movement last year also, this year also there is a movement. The cycle is running and we are doing nothing."

‘The voice of farmers cannot be suppressed’

The Vice President also said that the voice of farmers cannot be suppressed. Farmers say that wherever the administration and police try to stop them, they will sit there indefinitely. Meanwhile, about one lakh farmers from Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Authority area are ready to march to Delhi on December 2, 2024. Regarding this march of farmers, Noida Police has diverted traffic on many routes and issued advisories. Farmers have started this movement for their various demands, and they say that they will continue the movement until their problems are resolved.

Farmers announced strike at zero point of Greater Noida

Farmers have decided to stage a protest at Zero Point in Greater Noida on Wednesday night (4 December 2024). After this protest, there will be a meeting of the United Kisan Morcha on Thursday (5 December 2024), in which it will be decided from where to start the protest. In the meeting, talks were held between the farmers and top police officials, in which it was decided that the protest will continue at zero point for the time being. After this, there will be a meeting of the farmers with the officials again in the morning, where it will be decided whether the protest should be continued here or at the Rashtriya Dalit Prerna Sthal.

Assurance to work on the demands of farmers

OSD of Yamuna Authority Shailendra Singh said that a committee of officials of the three authorities and the District Magistrate (DM) will talk to the farmers and all their demands will be worked upon. For this, a channel is being prepared, through which the progress of the work will be informed to the farmers regularly. On the call of Bharatiya Kisan Union, farmers started organizing Mahapanchayat at Zero Point in Greater Noida from 10 am on Wednesday. Gradually representatives of all the 10 farmer organizations and hundreds of farmers reached there, and the Panchayat started.
