New Delhi, April 06, 2023 (PPI-OT):Farmers and labourers from various states across India converged at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi 5 for the Mazdoor-Kisan Sangharsh rally in protest against the Narendra Modi led Bharatiya Janata Party government’s alleged apathy towards them. The rally was held under the aegis of left-wing trade bodies, the Centre of Trade Unions (CITU), All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), and All India Agricultural Workers Union (AIAWU). In the days leading up to this rally, smaller rallies had drummed up massive support for the Ramlila venture in their respective states.

Labourers and farmers are protesting against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Union government’s alleged disregard for basic needs and the lack of solutions for deep livelihood issues. In focus is also how the lives of farmers and agricultural workers have been affected by what the CPI(M) has called “the corporate communal nexus.” Workers have demanded better healthcare, access to education, a right to dignity and government policies which allow for all of these.

The organisers have said that workers and farmers from Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Karnataka, Assam, Tripura, Manipur and Gujarat, have participated in the rally.
