Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Congress has planned to organise Kisan Sammelans in six states against the Indo-US deal.
The Sammelans will start in Bhopal on February 24. The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, and the AICC president, Mallikarjun Kharge, will participate in the Sammelan.
The party announced it would lay siege to the Vidhan Sabha on February 24, but now, the programme will turn into Kisan Sammelan. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh gave this information in Delhi, where the party held a meeting on Friday.
At the meeting, the Congress decided to organise meetings in MP, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
Ramesh said the impact of the trade deal would be on the farmers of these states, who are growing cotton, soya beans, and maize. So, the party is holding the farmers’ meets in these states.
Ramesh said the party would launch the upcoming agitation the way it launched the movement against three agricultural laws.
