Republic World's video: Rakesh Tikait To Take Stir To Bengal SKM Ditches Punjab Mahapanchayats For Feb 18 Rail Roko

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Tuesday announced that all the 'Mahapanchayats' scheduled in Punjab have been postponed. The decision taken by 32 farmer union leaders comes in the wake of the proposed ‘Rail Roko’ agitation across India on February 18. SKM leaders announced the decision during a press conference at Singhu border on Tuesday evening after their meeting to chalk out the strategy for the agitation was concluded. All trains across the country would be stopped for four hours from 12 pm to 4 pm on February 18. Meanwhile, the other faction of the farmer leaders on Tuesday said they will hold meetings in poll-bound West Bengal as well, with one of them indicating that they will ask people there not to vote for those who are "snatching our livelihood". Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a farmers' 'Mahapanchayat' at Garhi Sampla in Haryana's Rohtak, the farmer leaders said like many other states, they will tour West Bengal too shortly. Replying to a question, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait said, "We will tour the entire nation, we will also go to West Bengal. Farmers in West Bengal are also facing problems. They are not getting good rates for their crops."
