 Two decades of neoliberal economic policies have led to an acute agrarian crisis in India in which more than three and a half lakh farmers have committed suicide. This is a phenomena unseen in the entire history of humankind. The Narendra Modi led BJP had come to power, promising ache din for the farmers and the rural poor. They had promised that they would provide remunerative prices to the farmers according to the Swaminathan Commission recommendation of at least 50% above the cost of production. They had also promised they would come up with a scientific land acquisition legislation which would be pro-farmer and in favor of the dependence on land. However, after coming to power, each one of their promise has been betrayed. They have actually gone ahead and given an affidavit to the Supreme Court that they will not be able to provide minimum support price as per Swaminathan Commission recommendations. Not only that, they have also gone ahead and said that those states which are providing production bonus or incentives over and above the MSP, there will be no procurement from such states. As far as the Land Acquisition Act is concerned, they came with a land acquisition ordinance which did away with all the progressive elements which were present in the 2013 Land Acquisition Act. They said that there is no need for any consent of the farmers or dependence on land when land is being acquired and the clause which would ensure some safeguards for food security as well as to ensure that there would be livelihood security that was done away with. There was no need for a social impact assessment and on both sides of expressways up to 150 kilometers could be taken for corporate profiteering. Against all this, large scale agitations and struggles across the country have taken place. The Kisan Sabha was in the forefront of organizing the protests against the Land Acquisition Ordinance. The Bhumi Adhikar Andolan was formed and at least temporarily the government was forced to hold back on the Land Acquisition Ordinance. However, now they are going through similar or more draconian measures in states ruled by the BJP. Today we find the farmer suicides have increased in a state like Maharashtra ruled by BJP. Last year more than 3,228 farmers have committed suicide that is the highest ever since the neoliberal economic policies were implemented. It is also to be noted in the same state of Maharashtra last year more than 21,000 children aged 0 to 5 have died of malnutrition. In this year the number is around 10,000 in just 5 months. So all round there is an all round failure of the Narendra Modi government as well as different state governments ruled by BJP and the Congress. Against this we are the all India Kisan Sabha is organizing the Kisan Sangars Jata which will begin on 2nd November at Virudunagar and there will be 3 other Jatas one beginning at Ganyakumari another at Jammu and then 4th from Kolkata which will culminate in a massive rally in Delhi on 24th November. I call upon all democratic sections to extend support for the successful conduct of this Jata and to expose the Narendra Modi led BJP government and its anti-peasant anti-people face. Thank you.
