UNPA blames UPA on farmers issues
Sunday, February 10, 2008 19:45 [IST]

Sambla: Distressed farmers were forced to sell their body-parts for survival which lead to the Kidney scam, UNPA leaders said at a rally here today.

"UPA rule has rendered farmers helpless in their own Congress ruled state like this (Haryana). Farmers have been forced to sell their kidney to survive," Telegu Desam Party leader Chandrababu Naidu said at the rally organised by the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) here.

"The rise in number of suicide cases in different states is unfortunate. The situation is created due to wrong policies of the government," he claimed.

Agrarian issues are set to take the centre-stage in the budget session of Parliament as United National Progressive Alliance and the Left parties would rake up the matters in and outside the House, UNPA Chairperson and Samjwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said in his address.

Taking a dig at the Union government for "failing" to address the farmers cause, UNPA spokesperson and Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh said, "while the farmers die of debts, our agriculture minister is busy with cricket."

The Left parties would also join UNPA in a joint protest rally in front of Parliament on February 26, the front leaders announced at the rally.

"People ask us if we are a insignificant alliance. My answer to them is to watch out for the Parliament demonstration. We are fighting the cause hand-in-hand with the Left partners," Singh added.

Similar protest march has also been announced by the Bharatiya Kisan Union during the Budget session.
