Patna, July 18 (UNI) Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait on Monday said the farmers in Bihar should prepare for a ‘big agitation’ from October to de- mand their rights. Tikait made this announcement while interacting with media persons here. He said the condition of farmers was extremely bad in the state. If necessary, he would meet the chief minister and ask him to address the situation, he added.
“It is not necessary for the farmers of Bihar to migrate to other states for jobs. If any farmer would get a genuine price for the crops, why would he go to other states? Similarly, if a laborer gets the job in the home state why would he go to other states to earn their livelihood,” Tikait said.
“The farmers of Bihar should come forward for their rights and raise their voices. We will interact with all small and large farmer’s organizations in Bihar to make them united and make them aware of the need to fight for their rights against the government. I will start campaigning in Bihar from October this year,” Tikait said. “At present, farmers’ agitation is going on a small scale.
