Raju Shetti is going to send letters to all the Gram Panchayats requesting them to pass a resolution on this issue.
Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana leader and Lok Sabha MP Raju Shetti has demanded holding a separate Parliament session dedicated to the issues of farmers.
Shetti is going to send letters to all the Gram Panchayats requesting them to pass a resolution on this issue. Shetti on his letterhead has informed that he would be meeting the President of India to request for a separate Parliament session.
Shetti informed that he would be asking the Gram Panchayats to pass two resolutions seeking complete loan waiver to farmers and seeking an assured price for the farm produce which would equal 1.5 times that of input cost. Shetti informed that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had promised during his Lok Sabha election campaign of 2014 that farmers would be provided with assured price equaling 1.5 times that of input cost but the promise is yet not fulfilled.
Shetti informed that he would ask all the Gram Panchayats to pass these resolutions on May 1 and send a copy of the same to the president, vice-president, prime minister and Lok Sabha speaker.
Shetti said that he had organised a roundtable conference of various leaders from Opposition parties and there were 32 leaders present for the roundtable in New Delhi on March 28. He informed that all these leaders have supported the proposal for a separate session of Parliament and both the resolutions which is why he would be writing letters to all the Gram Panchayats for passing these resolutions. Shetti said that he has brought more than 150 farmers' organisations in the country under the umbrella organisation of Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sangharsha Samanvay Samiti which has also given nod for this proposal.
