During the Kisan Lalkar rally held in the district, social worker and farmer leader Tikaram Julie attacked the central government and BJP. He raised the matter of farmers’ problems and ignoring the farmers, targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party directly from the stage. A large number of farmers, local leaders and villagers were present in the rally, who expressed strong support on Julie’s words.
Tikaram Julie started his address by highlighting the problems of the farmers. He said that the Modi government has not only ignored the problems of farmers, but also tried to suppress their voice. Julie told the forum that if the government does not take concrete steps in the interest of farmers in time, then not only the farmers but the whole country will have to bear the brunt of it.
At the rally, Julie spoke especially on agricultural laws, minimum support price (MSP) and lack of irrigation facilities. He said that the condition of farmers is difficult to improve without solving these issues. Julie warned the central and state governments that if the farmers’ issues were not taken seriously, the farmer movement could intensify in the coming time.
On this occasion, he also accused the BJP and its leaders of corruption, irregularity and negligence in rural development schemes. Julie said that the government inaugurated the schemes only for showing, but they are not implemented properly on the ground. He clearly stated from the stage that efforts to suppress the voice of the farmers would fail and their struggle will continue.
The farmers and villagers present at the rally shouted slogans supporting Julie’s words. He also said from the stage that the time has come when the farmers show their solidarity and raise their voice for their rights. Julie inspired people that they should not be afraid to take to the streets for their rights.
Analysts say that the political importance of such rallies has also increased in places like Bundi. This open warning of Tikaram Julie is seen as a message for the Center and the State Governments that it is now difficult to ignore the problems of farmers.
