Jagraon , 4 February 2014 -
BJP Kisan Morcha National Secretary and Prabhari Himachal Pradesh Advocate Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal told that Kisan Morcha Rail Roko on Feb 7  is for the implementation of Swaminathan Commission Report. He said that the Government does not take any positive step on the demands of the farmers, now BJP Kisan Morcha will observe Kisan Aakrosh Divas on 7th February throughout the country and will sit on Railway track for which Government of india will be responsible and not the farmers. Talking with the media persons here today, Grewal stated that after the Kisan Adhikar Divas by Kisan Morcha on 30 January the death anniversary of Gandhi and Kisan Morcha will stage dharnas in all the 618 district centres in pain and grief to expose anti- farmer polices of Congress-led UPA government before the general public. Grewal said that in Congress led UPA Government, the farmers of our country are facing drought condition created by the policies of government. He said that when the crops are destroyed, it is the death of the farmer not the crops. He said that 1,45,000 farmers were forced to commit suicides during the UPA rule. He alleged that the Government is directly responsible for these suicides. He said that the out dated policies and non  implementation of the proposed polices are behind these deaths. Grewal said that the benefit of UPA government’s loan waiver scheme went to banks and not to farmers. He said that the banks are now sending notices of attachment to farmers. The farmers of Yamuna Nagar in Haryana have even offered to give their kidney against payment of loans. Grewal said that BJP Kisan Morcha will raise issue of implementation of Swaminathan Commission regarding remunerative prices with 50% profit for the farmers. He said that our other issues are the recommendations made by the Chief Ministers Committee about compensation of Rs 10,000 per acre for risk management must also be implemented, the increased prices of mixed fertilizers must be taken back. Grewal requested the farmers and farmer oragnisation to participate in the Rail Roko agitation on 7 February on Railway tracks.
