1k tractors to join Feb 20 Cong rally in H’bag

Hazaribag: More than 1,000 tractors from across the state will take part in the rally here organised by Congress on February 20 against the farm laws implemented by the Centre, party president Rameshwar Oroan said on Tuesday during his visit to the district to take stock of the preparations. Oraon expressed satisfaction over the preparations and said the party has been holding different agitations across the state for many months as a part of its nationwide campaign in solidarity with the farmers protesting across the country. On the farm laws, he said they are anti-people and anti-farmers. “We will continue to fight the laws both inside Parliament and on the streets,” Oraon said. The party had also organised a similar tractor rally in Santhal Parganas between Godda and Deoghar last month. For the Hazaribag rally, Oraon said Congress’s Jharkhand affairs in-charge RPN Singh is expected to arrive. Oraon said the party is also gearing up to launch a stir against rising fuel and LPG prices. “The common people are struggling to survive under Prime Minister Narendra Modiji’s new Bharat,” he said.
