 The Rajasthan-Kisan Sabha in the month of September 2017 had led a very historic and unprecedented struggle of the peasantry. Three or four major demands of the struggle were loan waiver to the peasantry. Second was pension to the poor peasants and the agricultural workers. Third was a proper remunerative prices for the crops and the fourth demand was control of the wild animals etc. who are creating havoc among the fields. As a result of a 13-day chakka jam that is road blockade struggle all over Rajasthan, the state government had to bend and it had to agree to most of these demands of the Rajasthan peasants. They agreed for a loan waiver of 50,000 rupees per farmer. They agreed to 2000 rupees pension for the agricultural workers and the poor peasants and many other demands. Now what we are finding is tragically in the last six months not a single demand has been actually implemented of what they had actually agreed. And therefore the Rajasthan-Kisan Sabha had decided that today 22nd February a huge Mahapada of lakhs of peasants will be held in Jaipur to protest against this government inaction and the government betrayal of its own promises. Now what happened was three days ago the government instead of actually having talks with the farmers they arrested Comrade Amra Ram, former president of the Kerala India Kisan Sabha and the leader of the Rajasthan peasant struggle. They arrested more than 500 peasant leaders all over the state. Not only that, they stopped the farmers from coming to Jaipur. They stopped them in their villages, they stopped them in their tassels in the districts and now in Jaipur whoever have come in spite of that thousands have come, they stopped them at the national highway to stop them from coming to Jaipur. Even then hundreds have come over here, thousands are coming more. Now the first thing is the all India Kisan Sabha, we are condemning this entire repressive campaign of the BJP government of Rajasthan and we are saying over here that you are not allowing our farmers to come to the Vidhan Sabha to fight for their legitimate demands in the coming elections to the Vidhan Sabha in Rajasthan. The Kisan Sabha is making a vow to see you have stopped our peasants from coming to the Vidhan Sabha, we will see that not a single BJP leader is elected to the Vidhan Sabha in the coming Vidhan Sabha elections. This will be the approach and the slogan of the Kisan Sabha in the coming days and against this anti people and anti peasant government. One more thing that we are trying to say, while loan waiver by the state government is a must, we believe that the central government has a major role to play for conceding loan waiver not only in Rajasthan but to the farmers all over the country. Not a single step is being taken by the Narendra Modi government in favour of a loan waiver. On the one hand this same government gives practically a loan waiver in the form of non-performing assets worth 11.5 lakh crore rupees to a handful of corporates but at the same time they don't give loan waiver to the lakhs of farmers as we know in the last 20 years of neoliberal policies both of the Congress and the BJP government we have seen more than 4 lakh farmers have had to commit suicide due to indebtedness all over the country. And therefore these farmers are not before the Modi government, these farmers are not before them, they have only the corporates before them who help them monetarily and financially in the elections. So therefore we say that this kind of a thing should stop, all the policies should be changed. The final point that we are saying if the loan indebtedness of the farmers has to end once and for all. Another very important recommendation made by the National Commission of Farmers and its chairman Dr. M. S. Swaminathan needs to be implemented and that is that remunerative price MSP must be given and calculated as the cost of production plus 50% profit for every crop for every farmer. This has not at all been considered by the Modi government although they had promised it during the election campaign but they after the election they went to the Supreme Court gave an affidavit in February 2015 saying that we cannot implement this. Now in another Chonavi Jumla they have said in the budget that we are going to give one and a half times the cost of production and we have already declared that cost MSP for the Ravi crops. Nothing can be a bigger lie. None of the Ravi crops whatever MSP has been declared has become one and a half times the cost of production. This is only pulling wool over the eyes of the peasantry and the Kisan Sabha has decided to make a big struggle not only in Rajasthan in the coming month of March we are having a huge struggle starting in Maharashtra by the Kisan Sabha on the similar thing betrayal by the Maharashtra state government of the BJP of the assurance is given to us last year. All over the country also such struggles will be launched and as a result of the Kisan Sansat that we had in Delhi 184 peasant organizations came together huge lakhs of farmers came together Kisan Sansat for these two main demands loan waiver and remunerative prices. This struggle will spread all over the country in the coming few days. This is what we have now set our eyes on and that will be the direction of the future struggle by the all India Kisan Sabha.
