Hyderabad sources have reported that a campaign would be held on February 15 here against the center's stance on minimum support price (MSP). Meanwhile the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) called union finance minister Arun Jaitley speech a farce which doesn't help the farmers and is misleading.
Accordingly in this back drop, the AIKSCC an umbrella of 190 farmer’s organization in the country would discuss on Kisan Mukti bills here and the issues will be discussed at length from February 12 to 19 at the district and mandal levels, as part of the campaign.
Moreover the convention would comprise AIKSCC
convener VM Singh, Lok Sabha member Raju Shetty, Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj
Abhiyan, Sunilam of Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, Madhya Pradesh. Further it may be
recalled that Centre which was reeling under pressure, took the decision of
fixing the price at 50* higher than the cost of production. However, an AIKSCC
member told to media, "While the Union Budget is being described as
farmers’ budget, the actual allocations remained at just 2.3% as that of last
year. There is no big change as claimed by the union finance minister."
