J’khand BJP plans kisan sammelans on December 15 in favour of new farm laws
Description
Ranchi: Even as the farmers’ protest against the newly enacted farm laws continues at the Delhi border, BJP’s Jharkhand unit on Saturday said it will conduct kisan sammelans across five areas on December 15 to apprise the farmers of the benefits of the legislation. State BJP general secretary Aditya Sahu said that the move aims to dispel myths and falsehoods which are being promoted by Congress and other non-BJP entities. He added, “Congress and other parties are misleading the farmers regarding the new laws. We have decided to go to the farmers and explain how the laws framed by the Centre are aimed at bettering their future.” The sabhas have been planned in Deoghar (Santhal Parganas), Medninagar (Palamu), Nirsa (North Chotanagpur), Kanke (South Chotanagpur) and Ghatshila (Kolhan). The party has appointed an MLA/MP in each of the five areas who will oversee the arrangements there. The state BJP’s announcement comes on a day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi defended the farm laws while speaking at the 93rd AGM of Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries.
