No move to float party, clarifies Samyukt Kisan Morcha
Description
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has slammed farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni over his statement on ‘Mission Punjab 2022’, saying it was made in his personal capacity and should not be attributed to the morcha.Asked whether or not defeating the BJP government would serve farmers’ interests, Charuni had pointed out that before ‘Mission UP’, farmers should launch ‘Mission Punjab’ and capture political power so as to present a successful model of governance.BKU leader Ruldu Singh Mansa said: “Charuni should not have made such a statement as the morcha had no link with elections. We have the sole target of getting the three farm laws repealed and until we get this done, we will not talk about politics.”He said with elections approaching, they would only ask people not to vote for the BJP. BKU Ekta Ugrahan state secretary Shingara Singh Mann opposed the idea of floating a political outfit. — TNS
