Hindustan Times  

Rakesh Tikait, leader of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, on Monday appealed to the farmer leaders across the country to unite under one banner in support of the ongoing agitation at the Shambhu border, demanding a legal guarantee on minimum support price for crops. “Batoge toh lutoge,” he said as he expressed concern over the “deteriorating” health of Jagjit Singh Dallewal, the president of Bhartiya Kisan Union, who has been on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border point in support of farmers’ demands, including MSP. Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait Tikait also hit out at the central government for not accepting the farmers’ demands and said it was benefiting out of the agitation as people in Punjab were getting angry at Bhawant Mann-led state government. Punjab farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher had on Sunday said that he had written to the Samyukta Kisan Morcha to join hands with the farmers protesting at Punjab-Haryana border points over their various demands, including a legal guarantee on the MSP for crops. We expect a positive message from them.” When asked about the letter, Tikait, who is also national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Kisan Union, said, “We have been saying for the past six to 10 months that all should sit together and talk.” When asked that the Haryana government says they are giving MSP on 24 crops, Tikait alleged, “The BJP government is expert at telling lies”.
